Because of this, if no points are invested in the alt fire, it can be detrimental to use the zoom due to reduced visibility and potentially reduced damage depending on the number of damage nodes invested in.

In Dead Space 2, the damage and alt fire (zoomed) damage are separately upgraded (damage from 50 to 70, alt fire from 50 to 100).

If adequately invested in, a Seeker Rifle can end the final battle in less than 30 seconds without the Pack ever appearing.

You can easily pop off its head or take out one of its legs.

Use it against a slow enemy such as a Pregnant.

Using it at close range isn't a good idea, but if you're good with semi-automatic rifles, it can be a very effective, almost-always one-hit kill against most enemies, even with body shots.
