System Shock 2 Hints

Assault Rifle

  • The assault rifle does 25% more damage per bullet than the pistol.  Its auto-fire mode is also significantly better than the burst modes on either the pistol or shotgun, especially if you have a high agility to help keep the kickback down.  A few shots with a fully-modified assault rifle can take out most opponents, as long as you use the right kind of ammunition.
