The weapon is lightweight, features two firing modes, 1000 ammo, extreme damage, 1,5 tile area of effect per shot, low TU per shot, very high accuracy and comes in unlimited amount for all soldiers to use. The Linear Fusion Rifle has long struggled to find a niche in Destiny 2.Sandwiched between the area-of-effect burst damage of Rocket Launchers and the precision damage of Exotic sniper rifles like Whisper of the Worm and Izanagi’s Burden, they’ve never really stood out in any situation. The weapon also appears in game files in the "Soviet" weapon set, and is seen in two versions one with wooden furniture and one with black, presumably polymer, furniture. You get the weapon after researching Alien Plasma Rifle, which is very early on. The appearance of this weapon in the hands of Soviet troops is somewhat anachronistic, as by 1979 it would have been somewhat replaced by either the AKM or AK-74. Although it is not available for equipment pre-mission, if a Xenonaut soldier picks one up while on mission, it is saved as part of their loadout when they return to base.
#XENONAUTS 2 LINEAR RIFLE AMMO UPDATE#
In earlier builds, picking one up during a mission transformed the gun into an M16 however, an update gave it its own GUI image, albeit without any statistical difference from the M16 other than magazine capacity. It cannot be equipped by Xenonaut troops in between missions. The AK-47 appears in game in the hands of NPC Soldiers and Local Forces during missions in the Soviet Union and Middle East. Despite it's former name, the weapon appears on farm tilesets regardless of location. GUI Image of the "Soviet Shotgun", also known as the "Farmer's Shotgun".

Looking at this again - youre on V5. The weapon has polymer grips and originally had an inaccurate 12 round magazine, but this has since been changed to the correct 15 round capacity. I did some research on the linear weaponry and got the mag weapon art stuff for the shotgun and the rifle (2 I managed to get built prior to this mission). The weapon is also seen in the hands of Police Officers and Local Forces during missions. A Beretta 92 variant, presumably the 92F, appears as "Ballistic Pistol", and can be equipped by soldiers in between missions.
