Operating principle
A narrow vertical magazine feeds this roof-runner’s machine pistol. Its extremely fast opening burst empties the weapon quickly, so movement must be planned around frequent reloads.
Modification choices
A compact grip steadies hip fire; an extended magazine lengthens the reload. A suppressor hides the flash but never removes nearby firing sound or a visible impact trail.
Engagement doctrine
Commit only when you can reach the next doorway before reloading. Strong in close PvP flanks and Duo rescues; in PvE pair with a ranged teammate before entering machine yards.
Strengths, limits & counters
Excellent close tracking; poor ammunition endurance. Survive the first burst, then advance through the reload window.
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: CIPHER, LATCH. The displayed range is 24 metres in this fictional design. Treat it as a planning guide: sightlines, armor and movement still decide the encounter.
