Survivalist Up2

The is a Primary weapon introduced in the 16.2.0 Halloween Night 2018 update. It is the second and final upgrade of the Survivalist. It can be obtained from the Halloween Event Chest.
== Appearance ==
It is a compact carbine rifle with a grey colour scheme with several scratch marks. It has a grey pistol grip, trigger, receiver with a light grey ejection port, a handguard, and top rail. At the front of the weapon, it features a black foregrip mounted underneath, and a black muzzle break.
== Strategy ==
The weapon overall deals decent damage, with a high fire rate and mobility, but this is paired with a below average ammo capacity, and moderate range and accuracy.
=== Tips ===
* In the right hands, this weapon can serve well for a general-purpose primary for almost all builds.
* Aim for the head to maximize damage.
* Be wary of the ammo capacity, as being careless can deplete its ammo reserves quickly. Try avoiding wasting too much shots against targets at longer ranges.
* It should be noted that the weapon has a lower capacity than most Primary weapons in its class, try to reload after every battle to avoid getting caught off guard.
* This weapon will quickly down unarmored opponents in direct combat.
* Avoid open areas, especially where snipers are as the weapon is ineffective at longer ranges and due to the lack of a scope.
* It fires armor piecing rounds, making useful for dealing against armored players.
*It has a short magazine capacity, but makes up for it with its decent damage per shot.
** Though it deals decent damage, it suffers from a lower damage per second (DPS) than most primaries.
* This weapon can be used for finishing off players.
* Use an Ammo Pack to add one more magazine in the reserve capacity.
=== Counters ===
* Due to its ineffectiveness at longer ranges, pick off users at long range.
* Area damage and shotguns make quick work of users.
* It is deadly to attack head-to-head against users at close range. Instead, try flanking around the user and attack them from their sides.
* Take advantage of the low ammo capacity and have a user deplete their magazine, leaving them vulnerable for attacks.
** In case of that, use a high damaging weapon such as the One Shot or the Lustful Vengeance then finish them off with a backup weapon.
* Other primary weapons can outperform the rifle in terms of range and damage output.
