Tactics facing SKULL-3 users
Original
- SKULL-3 users are fast, mobile, silent and deadly if the users are experienced.
- With B mode, they can annihilate your whole team easily with 70 rounds.
- Sniper rifles and far-middle ranged weapon are recommended, don't try to approach them directly unless you have good skills.
Zombie mods
- Usually, SKULL-3 users will go with B mode, so they're deadly but slow in movement. If they're not in ducts, infect them quickly, especially when they are reloading in B mode.
- With Deadly Shot, SKULL-3 in B mode can take down several <6000 HP zombies in ducts.
- Light type zombies are recommended when dealing with SKULL-3 users.
- SKULL-3 has high stun (nearly the same with MP5) and low knockback power.
- Try not to engage SKULL-3 users alone, especially if they use the Deadly Shot skill.

Trivia
- User's running speed will increase when the dual-wield SKULL-3 is thrown away during its reload animation for 2-3 seconds. The reverse happens with the M134 Minigun.
- Earlier version of SKULL-3 had the ammo costs only $35 per 35 bullets.
- The word "SKULL-3" can be seen on the weapon.
- Despite the ACOG's scope cap is still closed, the scope can still be used normally in single-wield.
- The scope has the words Aopoint on the side, a parody of the real-world company Aimpoint.
- Oddly, if compared to SKULL-4, it is heavier although it is a submachine gun.
