Campaign[]
The PSG1 is only seen in Numbers. It appears in the first and second weapon caches, and is very powerful, killing enemies in one shot just about anywhere in the body.
Multiplayer[]
The PSG1 is a "Classified" weapon, unlocked for purchase after the WA2000 and L96A1 are purchased. Although each shot causes a high recoil, the PSG1 has the fastest scope reset speed, or center speed, of any sniper rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Also, the recoil predictably kicks in one direction, similar to the L96A1, unlike the other semi-auto sniper rifles.
The PSG1 will kill with 1 shot to the stomach, chest, neck or head.
Like most sniper rifles, the PSG1 has a small magazine, causing frequent reloads. Extended Mags and/or Sleight of Hand can be helpful. The PSG1 scope uses a reticle with relatively thick cross-hairs. This weapon is effective in Hardcore gametypes, as it still retains a one-hit kill ability even with a suppressor attached.
