Airaldi Holdings - Marksman Rifle Specialist Brand

Last reviewed: 2026-04-25 · TU22.1 · Verified vs in-game

Airaldi Holdings is the dedicated MMR brand. It exists for one purpose: maximize marksman rifle damage per shot. Where Petrov is the LMG brand and Fenris is the AR brand, Airaldi is the brand for every Sniper, Designated Marksman and precision player. If you fire bolt-action or semi-auto rifles - the M1A, SVD, M44, SR-1, Mk17, Mosin-Nagant, the Nemesis exotic - Airaldi is your starting point.

At a Glance

• 1pc: +10% Marksman Rifle Damage
• 2pc: +25% Headshot Damage
• 3pc: +10% Critical Hit Chance
• Role: Marksman Rifle Specialist / DPS
• Tier: S for MMR, A for sniper crit hybrid
• Best slot count: 3pc
• Synergies: Tip of the Spear, Sokolov, Ridgeway's Pride, Determined, Headhunter, Lucky Shot

The brand identity is "headshot or nothing." The 2pc 25% Headshot Damage is the largest single brand headshot bonus in the game, and combined with crit chance and MMR damage, it creates the highest per-shot burst potential of any weapon class.

Bonuses Detail

The 1pc +10% Marksman Rifle Damage is a flat damage modifier on every MMR: M1A, SVD, M44, SR-1, Mk17 Mod 0, Mosin, Custom M44, the Nemesis exotic, and the M700 Tactical. It stacks multiplicatively with weapon-class scaling and chest talents like Headhunter or Determined.

The 2pc +25% Headshot Damage is the headline bonus. 25% from a single 2pc slot is the largest headshot damage modifier from any brand, larger than Sokolov's mask roll potential and stacking multiplicatively with Sokolov 3pc Headshot. For MMR play, where every shot is a headshot or a wasted bullet, this 25% is the most efficient damage stat per slot in the game.

The 3pc +10% Critical Hit Chance is the consistency layer. Marksman rifles have low fire rates (1-3 shots per second), which means every shot needs to count. 10% crit chance is enough to push your character past the 60% cap when stacked with mask/glove/backpack rolls and Sokolov 3pc.

Best Use Cases

Airaldi shines in four archetypes:

1. Headhunter M1A. Headhunter chest talent banks weapon damage on headshot kills and discharges it on the next shot. Airaldi 3pc + Sokolov 3pc creates the highest single-shot burst in the game.
2. Lucky Shot Nemesis. Lucky Shot backpack refunds magazine on headshot. Airaldi's headshot scaling makes Nemesis charge shots devastating.
3. Tip of the Spear specialization. Tip of the Spear adds skill damage on weapon hits. Airaldi 3pc maximizes the marksman damage feeding into the skill damage loop.
4. Ridgeway's Pride hybrid. Ridgeway's Pride exotic chest grants weapon damage on hits to weak points (headshots). Airaldi 3pc fuels that loop.

It is not the right pick for LMG, AR, shotgun or skill builds. Those want Petrov, Fenris, Wyvern or Hana-U.

FAQ

Q: Is Airaldi better than Sokolov for MMR? A: They're complementary. Airaldi has +10% MMR damage, +25% headshot damage, +10% crit chance. Sokolov has +10% headshot damage 1pc, +10% MMR damage 2pc, +10% crit damage 3pc. The standard MMR build runs 3pc Airaldi + 3pc Sokolov for stacked headshot, MMR, crit.

Q: Does +25% Headshot Damage stack with Sokolov headshot? A: Yes, multiplicatively with all other headshot damage sources (mask, backpack, gloves rolls).

Q: Should I run 2pc or 3pc Airaldi? A: 3pc is the standard for MMR builds. 2pc gives the headshot bonus only - acceptable for hybrid loadouts that don't fully commit to MMR.

Q: Airaldi vs Wyvern for crit? A: Wyvern Wear's 4pc shifts toward shotgun and grants 10% crit chance. Airaldi 3pc gives 10% crit chance plus headshot damage and MMR damage. For MMR specifically, Airaldi wins.

Q: Is the Eagle Bearer compatible with Airaldi? A: The Eagle Bearer is an AR, not an MMR, so the 1pc MMR damage is wasted. For Eagle Bearer, run Fenris instead.
