Weapon – Standard Weapon

Requirements: Standard Weapons 6, Strength 2 (Maintenance 4, Repair 4)
Fire Modes: Single Shot, Automatic
Ammunition Types: Standard Bullets, Armor-Piercing Bullets, Anti-Personnel Bullets

Standard assault rifle. The most powerful standard weapon in the game, but with correspondingly high requirements for use.

Modifications:

Upgrade 1 – Reloading Speed & Damage Increase
The Assault Rifle has a fairly large clip, even by default, but this will make it even more deadly, with a 2/3rds reload time reduction, and a 10% extra damage.

Upgrade 2 – Clip Size & Damage Increase
The final modification for the Assault Rifle increases its magazine from 36 to 72 bullets, and boosts its damage up to 25% over the base.

Analysis & Tips:

Now we’re talking! The Assault Rifle is the ultimate Standard Weapon, able to decimate just about any target in the game. The only downside? It’s got some very, very steep requirements, and is only found late in the game (unless you cheat and grab it well before intended on MedSci, behind a locked door). The Assault Rifle is so good, it’s arguably overpowered, able to reduce most of the game’s enemies to non-threats. Provided you can manage its ammunition and fire in single shots rather than full-auto, you’ll never want to put this gun down!
