The Ma-deuce. Testament to the genius of John Moses Browning. Has an amazing passive that deals 240% damage every 4th hit. Highest stat out of all the MGs in attack, though lowest ACC as well, and can't reach 16 bullet belt, maxing out at 15 WITH the 5star ammo boxes so.... can't quite use her skill to it's full potential. Still, will last a long time and competes with 4 and 5 star MGs. MURRICAAAA.

PING! Not to be confused with the M1 Carbine. …See also: SV-98 wrt usage.

Also uniquely autotargets the rear at all times even when its target isn't dead.

If you somehow still need another rifle, for some reason, despite M14 and G43 existing, not a terrible candidate. Mostly usable early on when you need a rifle badly yet somehow don't have anything better. Comparable to M1 Garand. If you somehow need one, use whichever you get first since there's no real point having both unless you're collecting.

Her mod can be found here.

Very solid 3 star that is actually better than most of the 4 star RFs (SVD, G28 and occassionally T5000 can outperform her, but she'll handily trounce most of the rest.)

You get her for free and she's amazing, due to very fast base RoF for a rifle. Less good now as the better RFs come along, but will last into the higher chapters easily. Now has her mod available, which again turns her into one of the best rifles available.

"Are you THAT short on ARs or need cheap equipment that badly?"

You get much better ARs from story events, and there's only so much that you actually need. If you need a cheap AR and already have FNC though I guess she can be useful.

Her exclusive, while it does give her more strength, doesn't let her outperform many 4* ARs.

"Choco Tabemase?" - The best 3star AR. Performs more like a high end 4 and might border on 5 tbh. Has a long history of suffering in the game and may suffer from PTSD.

Damage bonuses are nice, and she's just strong enough to take down a Jupiter cannon by herself, provided you have some cannon fodder between her and the Jupiter (which is mostly why she has PTSD).

While she IS outperformed by the top end ARs, she's recommended purely on basis of being both decent and cheap to raise since you'll get shittons from drops and AR builds.

Like a hybrid taking only the good parts of various SMGs, and has a nice molotov (the best 3 star one honestly). Quite good for a 3 star. TOO BAD SHE'S LSC AND LOCKED BEHIND A SHITTY CAMPAIGN FARM.

If for some reason you want grenade damage, which is mostly an anti-scout thing early on. Honestly cores most of the time, but if you need to blow up scouts on the cheap, she's better at it than Sten at least. Also has better buffs than Sten, but you're more likely to happen across cheap/free Stens than PPSes. If you DO get a pile of her though, she's at least better than Sten.

Has good dodge. Skill is moar dodge. Boss exclusive, but if you want a tanky 3* SMG (instead of trying to roll for a better one for some reason) well...

Good buff, but honestly kinda shit for most purposes (but her buff tiles are better than Sten's if you somehow happen into a pile of her early). You want a better SMG, honestly, but if you're desperate sure? Mostly cores though.

Her exclusive equipment is a silencer, and while it gives ten more evade over a regular silencer, is expensive as all hell and doesn't give her a significant boost. It does make her a bit more on par with UMP45's base stats, but with significantly worse tiles.

Ablative armor and a grenade. Has a lot of HP for her rarity with a not so terrible evade, though YMMV between her and M38. Her main virtue is that she's the first 3 star you get from the story and they give you a pile of her so it's easy to stock up bodies. Only useful for logistics and cores once you have real tanks. If you happen across free PPS-43s, they're somewhat better.

Has a mod, but it's not great either.

Lower rarity Vector. Has useful evade. Has shit for HP though and lower atk. Can off-tank alright and her molotov is still good enough to use, but you really want better SMGs. Her primary virtue is that you're given a pile of her at the very start.

Good early for when you're lacking good HGs. Fodder later.

Also literally retarded.

AKA Beretta 92FS. Stun Grenade Option in HG, low priority but still good to have an option of stun grenade. Not actually important to keep since lolsupercommon, but sometimes, you just need a handgun and a stun grenade and only have 1 free spot open. Her exclusive doesn't change this, she's still in the same utility spot.

Also sends you to jail.

AKA Type-92.

Good buff coverage area. There are currently only 2 in the game that give that coverage - Type 92 and Contender. Also has the HIGHEST evade buff that can be received. Used for specific stuff, like pairing with SR-3MP.
