Good to know
- Finishing the High Supply treasure hunt unlocks the base rifle.
- Camo Quinceañera comes from the A Rising Tide treasure hunt.
- Decontaminant is the reward for the Special Operation Malagua.
- It fires at 900 rounds per minute, so the 20-round magazine empties fast.
- An extended magazine raises capacity to 27 rounds.
- The model shows a 30-round magazine even though it only holds 20 in play.
What it's good for
It works as an aggressive close-to-mid range rifle that shreds unarmored soldiers. The low damage per round and short magazine mean you reload often, so it is weaker in long fights than higher-capacity rifles.
How to get it
Complete the High Supply treasure hunt for the standard rifle. Do A Rising Tide for Camo Quinceañera and the Malagua Special Operation for Decontaminant.
Mods and ammo
It takes standard, armor-piercing, soft-target, poison, blast and incendiary rounds. Muzzle, optic and laser sockets accept suppressors, ACOG and reflex sights. Camo Quinceañera trades a little damage for better accuracy, handling and stealth.
