FAULT
Assault rifle
Free CircuitA dock-built rifle with a split receiver that opens without tools. Heavy projectiles reward measured fire, while a rough gas cycle pushes alternate shots slightly sideways.
Operating principle
A dock-built rifle with a split receiver that opens without tools. Heavy projectiles reward measured fire, while a rough gas cycle pushes alternate shots slightly sideways.
Modification choices
A stabilizing stock tightens sustained fire but slows the first aim. A short barrel improves handling at the cost of effective range. A low-magnification optic preserves peripheral vision.
Engagement doctrine
Use short bursts from one piece of cover to the next. In PvP and Battle Royale this class bridges street and rooftop fights; in PvE reserve part of each magazine for a drone arriving from another angle.
Strengths, limits & counters
Hard individual hits and easy field service come with lateral recoil. Moving targets punish careless continuous fire.
Reading the specifications
Damage is one unarmored torso hit at close range; a burst rifle reports one projectile, not an entire burst. Rate is nominal cycling speed; burst pauses, charging, cooling and reloads reduce sustained output. Capacity counts projectiles, shells or charges per load. Range describes the intended engagement distance. Recoil is a 0–100 control-demand index: lower is steadier, not weaker.
Operators & modes
Recommended operators: TORQUE, CAIRN. The displayed range is 60 metres in this fictional design. Treat it as a planning guide: sightlines, armor and movement still decide the encounter.
