The M107 CQ
Big boom, small package—precision that fits in a backpack.
The M107 CQ is a compact variant of the classic M107 sniper rifle featured in the Watch Dogs franchise. Designed for close-quarters combat, this semi-automatic marksman rifle trades extreme long-range reach and raw stopping power for snappier handling and a faster rate of fire. It's a specialized tool for players who want to deliver surgical, high-damage shots at medium distances without the cumbersome weight and slow cycling of a traditional sniper—striking a lethal balance between a sniper's punch and an assault rifle's agility.

Lore & Background
The M107 CQ was born from DedSec's desperate need for adaptable firepower in the concrete jungles they call home. In the world of Watch Dogs 2, where urban combat and hacking are inseparable, the standard M107's bulk and sluggish handling became liabilities during rooftop escapes and corridor ambushes. DedSec's armorers stripped down the barrel and stock, shaving off weight and length without compromising the rifle's core semi-automatic action. The result was a weapon that lets an operative ghost through a tight alley one moment and drop a guard with a single shot the next—no window seat required.
In Their Own Story
The alley was silent except for the hum of a nearby server room. Marcus crouched behind a dumpster, the M107 CQ cool against his shoulder. He'd swapped the long barrel for this stubby version after a close call in a parking garage—too many blind corners, not enough time to chamber another round. Now, with the rifle's red dot sight aligned on a guard's helmet, he breathed out. The shot cracked, and the guard crumpled without a sound. Marcus slid back into the shadows, the rifle's compact frame letting him vanish before the alarm even thought about sounding.
