Devastatingly powerful, the '''.408 Chey Tac''''s performance ranks it as the '''third most powerful round''' of the game, behind the [[12.7x108mm]] and the [[.50 BMG]], and the most powerful chambering available for firearms than can accept a [[Weapon accessory|silencer]].

The .408 Chey Tac is a high-caliber rifle cartridge developed in 2001 and suited for use in the CheyTac Intervention M200, of which it is the only weapon compatible.
Oriented for extremely long range fire, with an effective range well over 2000 meters, its use is suited for both anti-personnel and anti-matériel purposes.

It is an extremely powerful round, able to cause tremendous damage on whoever is on the business end of the bullet. As such, it is considered a top-tier caliber.

Real-life data

The .408 Chey Tac is a specialized, rimless cartridge designed in 2001 for use with the CheyTac Intervention M200. It was created along with a smaller, similar caliber, the .375 Chey Tac, as part of the Long Range Rifle System program. It was designed primarily for long-range anti-personnel purposes, as well as anti-sniper (or counter-sniper) capabilities. This caliber is extremely fast, topping at 1100 meters per second while in flight, making it one of the fastest bullets in the world, more than three times the speed of sound.

The cartridge is not recognized by official sanctioning bodies - thus technically the .408 Chey Tac is a wildcat cartridge; i.e., a cartridge of custom dimensions that isn't recognized as a standard. However, it has been designed in the hope of creating a niche filling the gap between the .338 Lapua Magnum and the .50 BMG, both of which are being used in sniper scenarios, but with substantial differences (the former is an anti-personnel round, the latter an anti-materiel).
