The Winter Ghost Rifle is an assault rifle which is unlocked at level 14 and was only available during the Winter Wonderland Update previously. It is only obtainable by purchasing through the Yeti Bundle for $6.99 . It deals moderate damage, has unlimited range and amazing accuracy (it has a scope) and moderate agility, bearing many similarities to the Scoped Assault Rifle. It holds an average amount of rounds; 30 rounds. It was brought back in the Ninja Path update, making its return on 18th December 2014. It is the Tier 7 prize for collecting 6200 Ninja Points.
The weapon received a significant buff during St.Patrick's Day 2020. Greatly increasing the damage and slightly increasing the agility. Range is reduced to 2 bars(4 previously) and range is reduced to 3(4 previously). This reduction is almost unnoticeable as the gun still has unlimited range and very tight accuracy. This is a totally different weapon from the Scoped Assault Rifle now.
Strategy
The infinite range and the excellent Accuracy makes using the tactic of Camping or Death from A Far perfect for this weapon. Its rate of fire may be slow, but once the bullets start flying, your opponent's health will drop quickly and even if he is too far away (because of the unlimited range), you always have the rifle scope to ensure his death. Be careful once you use the scope, as opponents can then easily run beside you and subdue you. Whatever strategies you use with the weapon Scoped Assault Rifle will work very well for this weapon.
