Notes[]

  • This weapon cannot be given attachments.
  • Weapon is not changed by the v1.4007 PRM Weapons Pack.
  • Given as the reward for completing Locate the contact mission. Completing the aforementioned mission before going to garbage is highly recommended as it will be the first proper assault rifle that the player can find, and is rather versatile, with a single-shot mode (control must be manually configured) to make it an ersatz sniper or full-auto as an automatic weapon
  • The Akm 74/2U special/AKS-74UB is a special variant with a permanent silencer and some pre-installed upgrades to compensate for the silencer. Preferable if one likes stealth as the original rifle cannot mount a silencer (and 5.45mm silencers can't be found in the early game anyway).
