QuoteDisplay MoreI always felt a little bit bad for the RPK-16. Only machine gun in the game is already a kick in the proverbial balls enough, but only representative of the modern Kalashnikov lineup? One and done? That's it? That fucking sucks.
So I gave the RPK-16 a few friends to keep it company.
This mod adds an AK-12 assault rifle and an AK-15 battle rifle to the game. Both rifles and their parts can be purchased off Prapor LL2, and stripped forms of the rifles as well as carbine barrels for both rifles can be purchased off Prapor LL3.
The AK-12 functions similarly to the RPK-16, occupying less overall space and weight and having a higher ergo score in exchange for lower maximum accuracy and bullet velocity. It might not be as good a choice as the RPK-16 when it comes to firing at a distance, but if you're using an automatic firearm to engage targets at about 200m you're doing it wrong, so...
Meanwhile the AK-15 just melts enemies the same way the AK-103 does, but with worse customization potential in exchange for better accuracy. If anything, the AK-15 probably breaks the balance of the kalashnikovs in this game harder than the AK-12 does. At least it's fucken fun to use, though.
Known Issue:
- I couldn't get 7.62x39mm firing noises for the AK-15 to work without getting weird silent reloads and magazine drills. I think something got goofed up by the changes made to how weapons are constructed in 12.11, so once I figure out what happened I should be able to fix this.
