ASHURA Smart Sniper rifle is an epic weapon but it can be available as early as in the prologue of the game.

ASHURA Smart Sniper rifle can be obtained during the prologue mission called "The Pickup", and here's what you need to do in order to get it.

How to get the ASHURA Smart Sniper Rifle: Location Guide

As we've already mentioned, you will need to accept "The Pickup" mission, and then to go to the location of the mission, the Maelstrom gang headquarters.

Your task in this mission is to pick up a package from a guy called Royce, and you can choose to either pay for the package and leave, or simply kill Royce and his gang members and rob them.

Here's how you should do that.

  1. First things first, go to the "All Foods" location.
  2. Use the intercom to talk with Maelstrom members.
  3. Once inside, just let them lead you to the elevator, and then take the elevator.
  4. Dom Dom will be waiting for you here, and you will have a conversation.
  5. He will show you the package - Militech robot the Flathead.
