Appearance
Edit
The Kinetic Rifle looks like a highly futuristic rifle with a large oval barrel. The magazine is surprisingly small for the amount of ammo it holds.
Properties
Edit
The Kinetic Rifle is effective at medium range but lacks power in exchange for the high rate of fire. It can pierce light Armor. In addition, firing the Kinetic Rifle for long periods of time cause the bullets to slowly spread out, decreasing accuracy. Use Marksman skill for more accurate slow spread firing.
Skill Augmentation
Edit
With the Weapon Mods skill, it's magazine size is increased to 72.
With the Marksman skill the bullet spray is decrease while at the same time increasing the damage of the bullets.

Strategy/Tips
Edit
- The longer you fire the Kinetic Rifle, are more the bullets spread. To maintain accuracy, try firing in short bursts.
- There is an initial snap aim when you first enter OTS mode on an enemy, and there is an additional accuracy bonus if you are crouching.
- Headshots do more damage than regular shots. Try jumping while shooting to hit the enemy's head while dodging bullets yourself.
Trivia
Edit
- The Kinetic Rifle "replaces" the Model 18 Automatic Rifle from Warhawk. However, there is no heavy aim-assist with the rifle as there was with Warhawk due to the refinements with the Starhawk camera, controls, and aiming mechanics.
