Usage
The Mamba's Boy is quite different from other sniper rifles because it is the fastest green-locking rifle among them, and the second fastest to reach a full lock. Because of this very low locking time, players will be able to get a green lock on the target in a shorter period, leaving less time for the opponent to find shelter from the rifle. A fast lock-on in a short amount of time also allows for more efficient use in close combat since the sniper can just follow the target to keep a lock. However, this ability does come with some drawbacks: The lock radius is small and the damage per second is relatively low. Thus, this gun less suited for multiple shots to kill an enemy.

The Mamba's Boy works by firing shots at enemies from virtually any distance. Being a sniper rifle, this weapon is capable of performing one-hit killing shots by performing a headshot.

Locking opponents
As mentioned, the scope of this rifle can lock onto opponents to secure accuracy. Locking onto opponents happens in three stages by hovering the scope over the desired opponent.

No-scoping
No-scoping is a term used about Sniper primaries and their ability to lock onto targets. However, the rifle is also fireable outside of the lock scope. Shots fired at opponents without locking or in semi-locking state are considered no-scopes. When no-scoping, all shots will be fired in the direction of the crosshair, slightly varying due to the weapon's dispersion angle.

Locktimes
The Mamba's Boy has the following lock times for each of the three stages of sniping:
