Always remember that the player may only have a four round capacity for the player's rifle, so act carefully when thereĀ are more than four enemies to deal with, but also remember with the high damage that the player might not have to shoot or mark the same target twice.It should be noted that while firing this weapon from cover, Marston will have to cycle to the next shot before he is able to return to his cover position.Using this weapon against more than five targets can be dangerous, because after each shot Marston stays standing for about three seconds, and it is easy to die in that time at later levels in the game.As it is available early in the game, this makes it ideal with Level 1 Dead-Eye Targeting, although care must be taken at short range due to its limited ammo capacity and rate of fire. This rifle is a powerful weapon, with a single torso shot often killing a target that would otherwise require multiple shots from a repeater or handgun.The Springfield is carried by the Walton's Gang snipers at Twin Rocks, and by a few Banditos at Rancho Polvo.The Springfield Rifle is unlocked upon reaching rank 13.Alternatively, the player may come across a Springfield during a Stranded Camp or a Bolter Banquet in which the weapon can be found next to one of the dead bodies.
The player may also acquire it off of dead bodies in " The Assault on Fort Mercer".Additionally, this weapon is available on the raft during the Irish mission " We Shall Be Together in Paradise".
