Garena has announced that it will be temporarily removing the Kar98K sniper rifle from the game. In a message to players, the developers noted that they found a pretty major in-game bug with the weapon. Apparently, the bug allowed the gun to perform an instant kill on players. While this may seem pretty awesome if you have the weapon, it’s not as fun if you are on the receiving end. The developers did not specify when the weapon will return, but did note that it will make a comeback once the bug has been fixed.
The Kar98K is a classic bolt action sniper rifle that is available as a standard drop on the map. However, while it may be a standard drop, it’s still a very powerful weapon and can be devastating in the right hands. One of its key features is that it comes pre-attached with an 8x scope that makes it a sniper’s best friend. While other weapons like the AWM may offer slightly better stats, the Kar98K can still hold its own even at the end of the map.
In related news, Garena announced that it was removing Jai from the game. The developed note that the character will not be available in the store after July 31. However, players who have already purchased the Jai can continue to use him in games. The character of Jai is based on Bollywood actor, Hritik Roshan. The character comes with a skill called Raging Reload. With this skill, the player will automatically reload their gun up to 30% when killing a player. Jai is currently priced at 499 in-game Diamonds.
