Trivia[]
- The SOF Battle Rifle is based off the FN Herstal SCAR-H that has been highly customised with a vertical grip, AN/PEQ-15 (Light and Laser Module) and a Elcan SpecterDR Optic. The image of the SCAR-H in the gallery has the same configuration in game, with the exception of the reversed charging handle.
- The Optic was originally a Leatherwood Hi-Lux CMR scope in a LaRue QD mount, but was changed to the SpecterDR, as the SpecterDr optic is used by special forces.
- The Spec Ops DMR is based off the M14 Enhanced Battle Rifle with a Leupold Mk 4 scope mounted, vertical grip and a folded bipod.
- The Cold War Rifle is based off the Heckler and Koch G3A3/HK91/HK41 that has vertical grip and a Vortex Viper scope in a LaRue QD Mount.
- The Heavy Combat Rifle is Semi-Automatic when used by the player in-game, but is Fully-Automatic when used during cutscenes or when used by NPCs that carry the rifle by default. NPC's that pick up Heavy Combat Rifles will always fire the gun in Semi-Automatic.
- This was done to prevent the Heavy Combat Rifle from being overpowered in the hands of the player and to make NPC's more deadly in combat. The damage in Fully-Automatic is reduced by 25% to prevent the gun from being too powerful at close range.
