Tactics[]
Likely the first assault rifle that the player obtains, it provides a boost in firepower over most of the weapons available early in the game. While it shoots quickly for a semi-automatic, it's relatively inaccurate and isn't fully automatic like the other assault rifles available. However, this weapon is still very reliable and can be effective beyond the levels that it can be scavenged in.
Recommended gear[]
- Ammunition Mods increase the damage, allowing it to take down enemies faster.
- Extended Mags increase the small magazine size.
- Glasses increase the short range, with some variants increasing accuracy.
- Weapon Cleaning Kit improves its low accuracy.
