A reliable Tier 2 rifle that hits hard at range without Tier 3 costs.

- Tier 2 workbench
The Semi-Automatic Rifle is the early-to-mid-game answer to long-range threats. It fires 5.56 with solid damage and accuracy, and with a Holosight it competes at distances a Thompson cannot reach, all from a Tier 2 workbench.
A Solid Stepping Stone
It lacks the burst of an AK and the precision of a Bolt, so it sits comfortably in the middle of the tier list: a dependable do-everything rifle before you tech up.
