MS-Corp Assault Rifle

ALT-FIRE: Toggle Ammunition

Gameplay

The MS-Corp Assault Rifle is standard issue to MS-Corp soldiers, and Mikko uses one himself as an example to the troops. It has a magazine of 25 rounds, is relatively accurate, and has a magazine counter as well. It's most interesting feature is it's unique munition changing feature; MS-Corp research is highly classified so the method it achieves this is unknown. By the push of a button the gun can somehow modify it's ammunition to armour-piercing, making it a truly multi-purpose gun.

Although 25 rounds isn't a huge amount of ammunition, the rifle deals decent damage more than making up for this. By pressing alt-fire you can switch the gun to armour-piercing mode - this deals less damage than the normal attack but naturally is great against armoured enemies and robots. With the hollow point upgrade, the gun gets a 3rd firing type. This attack does much more damage against unarmoured and chitin targets, but performs very very poorly against armoured targets or enemies with body-armour.

MS-Corp soldiers use this gun and can also fire with it's armour piercing mode, making Mikko's footsoldiers useful against many enemy types.
