TPG-1 Master

"An upgrade model of the TPG-1 that comes integrated with a silencer. With an additional magazine and an increased range, it is an amazing gun for long-range sniping."

- The Arsenal

The TPG-1 Master is an NX-Rare variant of the TPG-1 (not TRG), which was released in the 3/22/11 Content Update.

Overview
The TPG-1 Master is fast, efficient, and devastating - allowing for a non-stop rampage before even having to reload, while maintaining the pre-nerfed traits of both the TPG and TRG series.

The major differences between the TPG-1 Master and the standard TPG models include the integrated silencer, +1 accuracy, and an extra magazine (on top of the extra magazine in the NX standard TPG-1 Pro).

The TPG-1 Master also maintains the L115A2/A3's scope, allowing maximum range across wide distances such as Kill Creek. The most important difference however, is the drastically reduced damage dropoff compared to the other TPG-1 variants maintaining a solid 1 hit kill even across Kill Creek distances. When combining this obvious advantage with its other traits such as a high rate of fire, near perfect accuracy, high magnification scope and its high ammo capacity; this makes the TPG-1 Master the best overall sniper rifle in Combat Arms.

This sniper rifle is most compared to its rival, the DSR-1 Tactical. Despite its slightly lower stats and significantly higher recoil, it has been controversial that the TPG-1 Master "claims to be better than DSR-1 Tactical." However, the DSR-1 Tactical's 100 point accuracy stat has been commonly disputed, its slow draw speed and movement recovery make it poorly adapted for Quick Scoping. The Tactical's slower rate of fire and a lack of a suppressor are also disadvantages when compared to the TPG-1 Master - a more apt comparison would be with the pre-nerf TRG SE.

It is currently one of the least common rifles in the game, and you will have trouble finding it even in most Sniper Only matches.
