RIVET
Submachine gun
Free CircuitAn orange industrial fastener rebuilt around conventional ammunition. Its heavy front block keeps the rhythm steady and makes it a forgiving companion to bulky work armor.
Operating principle
An orange industrial fastener rebuilt around conventional ammunition. Its heavy front block keeps the rhythm steady and makes it a forgiving companion to bulky work armor.
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
Stable under pressure but slower to swing between targets. Attack with separated angles instead of lining up in one doorway.
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, BALLAST. The displayed range is 32 metres in this fictional design. Treat it as a planning guide: sightlines, armor and movement still decide the encounter.
