Iconic Modifier
A special version of the weapon capable of additional modification. Optimized design also allows for improved handling.
Attachment Slots
The Umbra x-MOD2 is a tad unusual. To start, it’s a weapon that can seemingly only beobtained via an exploit. Secondly, despite being an Iconic Assault Rifle, there isn’t much to it. The Umbra x-MOD 2 has a few more attachments than some other guns, but the way it fires and the effects it has really don’t amount to anything worth keeping hold of.

A weapon named after a passage from the Bible, Psalm 11:6 will reign coals on the wicked, quite literally. Psalm 11:6 has explosive ammo that has a 30% chance to burn enemies, igniting them in a sinner’s flame. While the fire damage isn’t all that impressive, the 50 rounds in a magazine are, so it’sa fairly competent weapon to use.

The Kyubi x-MOD2 is a semi-auto Assault Rifle that sees an advantage from its fire rate due to how it has more controlled handling and recoil. With this weapon, comes a few mod slots that can be used to find even more advantages when using the Kyubi x-MOD2, butthe real show stealeris the improved headshot damage multiplier.

Gain increased movement speed on kills and dismemberment. The faster you move, the more damage you deal. BARGHEST weapons also gain increased Armor Penetration.
Pit Bull is one of the best Assault Rifles, but it’s sadly locked behind RNG and a now-disabled Amazon Prime Gaming deal. As for the weapon itself, it certainly has the bite of a wild dog with how fast it can make players move, and how lethal players who wield it can be. Every kill increases Movement Speed and Damage by 4%, stacking to a total of 25% for 6 seconds. On top of that, players also have a great deal of Armor Penetration to take out pesky foes.

Behaving identically to Pit Bull, the Chinook provides the same bonuses in terms of Movement Speed and Damage and can be obtained through the same methods of a random Airdrop reward. The Chinook slightly beats the competition on its core stats, but it’s still a weapon thatmost players might not be able to obtaindue to RNG.

Smart-target up to five enemies simultaneously, though at the cost of accuracy. Bullets may cause Chemical explosions that apply heavy Poison effects. Rounds deal increased damage, but have a chance to lose target-lock and miss.
Divided We Stand is a proud achievement for those who bested 6th Street’s shooting competition in Santo Domingo, and it’s fairly good. It’s a Smart Weapon, so players need a Smart Link to see this gun work its magic. Thanks to its high-round capacity, Divided We Stand will shoot multiple enemies at once and perhaps even provide a Chemical burst to provide Poison to those within. However, losing lock-on and only a 6.6% chance for a Poison explosion makes it a tad underwhelming.

Dismembering increases your Crit Chance against an enemy. Your fire rate is uneven, hindering your aim.
The Moron Labe Assault Rifle is pretty brutal, and those who enjoy something with a sadistic nature will certainly want to pick up this gun. Moron Labe has a 400% increased chance to dismember enemies, leaving them limbless and fighting for their short lives. Every dismemberment with Moron Labe increases its Crit Chance by 5% and reduces the attack speed by 5% for 10 seconds with a 5x stack, applying great buffs for the sadists out there.

Shots to limbs have an increased Crit Chance. Weapon handling is improved while running, jumping or sliding and simultaneously increases damage and Bleeding.
Carmen is a wildfire weapon that for some, might be a tad too fast and fierce to work for them effectively. Carmen requires players to be on the move, improving the gun’s handling by 60% and the damage by 10%, so it’s best used when players like tostay on their feet or air dasharound like there’s no tomorrow to really see this gun work its magic.

Neutralizing enemies with the Pride temporarily stops ammo use while shooting from the Prejudice. The first shot is always a Crit and fire rate is greatly increased when your Health is low. Increases damage against Elite enemies.
Prejudice is a brilliant Assault Rifle thanks to its modifier and already great stats, but it’s made one of the best if combined with Pride, which is Rogue’s Pistol that can be obtained during a fight with Adam Smasher in the finale to the main game. Pride and Prejudice work wonders together, and using Pride first and then switching to Prejudice will provide bonus damage to enemies unlucky enough to witness the power of the combined forces of this Pistol and Assault Rifle.

Headshots temporarily weaken and mark enemies. In this weakened state, enemies move slower, cannot use abilities, deal less damage and are more prone to losing their balance.
The Hawk is a near-perfect weapon, and the fact that it was handled by the NUSA President makes it even more worth grabbing. Hawk has great stats, and the only downside comes from its low ammo count, but that’s easily made up for thanks to how Hawk will mark and weaken enemies shot by it for 15 seconds, providing them with slower speeds, the inability to use abilities, and a reduction of their total damage to make them all weakened and ready for death at V’s hand.
