RPD

The is a light machine gun featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty Online, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, Call of Duty: Mobile and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. It was cut from Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It serves as the main light machine gun used by the Russian forces.
==Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare & Modern Warfare Remastered==
===Campaign===
In the campaign, the RPD is frequently used by the Loyalists, Ultranationalists, and OpFor. To this end, it can be more useful than the M249 SAW in some stages, as ammunition is frequently available. A mounted form of the RPD can be found in the mission "Shock and Awe" in the building after rescuing the stranded platoon, as well as the mission "Safehouse" in two of the houses.
===Multiplayer===
The RPD is unlocked at level 4.
The weapon is very powerful, even without any attachments. It deals 40 damage at all range, with no dropoff, killing three hits anywhere to the body. Stopping Power increases damage to 56, making it a two hit kill at any range. Head shots are only useful when not using Stopping Power, reducing the three hit kill to two hits. Complementing the high damage is a medium rate of fire of 700 rounds per minute, giving the RPD the fastest time to kill among all light machine guns in most situations with Stopping Power. Even more, it has rather low recoil. However, it does have some drawbacks, such as having the longest reload time of all guns and poor hip fire accuracy, which can be mitigated somewhat by Sleight of Hand and Steady Aim respectively.
The RPD can be modified with a Red Dot Sight, ACOG Scope, or a Grip. It is primarily used for medium to long distances and is particularly liked for its magazine's high capacity as well as high power. It is capable of getting long distance kills as the recoil is less than the AK-47's visual recoil and it has no idle sway. Also, in terms of damage per second, the RPD is better than both the M249 SAW and M60E4 when using the Stopping Power perk. The M249 SAW does significantly less damage per second than the RPD or M60E4, and the RPD and M60E4 take the same number of bullets to kill (except in close quarters or mid-range, where the M60E4 can kill in two shots without Stopping Power). Using the Grip increases the RPD's already excellent long range capabilities.
The RPD's iron sights are large and unobstructed, so the Red Dot Sight and the ACOG Scope are less beneficial. The front sight is not removed when using the Red Dot Sight so it is more obstructive than on most other weapons, and the ACOG Scope adds sway. However, the RPD features slightly misaligned iron sights. This can be seen when equipped with an optical attachment, as the reticle will lie slightly to the right of the front post.
The RPD has fairly low recoil when fired automatically, so it is very helpful for keeping enemies at bay and spraying large groups of enemies down.
In Modern Warfare Remastered, the reloading animation has been altered to have the charging handle pulled after changing the belt drum rather than before.

==Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2==
===Campaign===
The RPD is occasionally found on Russian soldiers throughout the campaign, as well as in the hands of the Brazilian Militia, Opfor, and Shadow Company soldiers.
It is one of two starting weapons in "Endgame" if the player does not play the level through the previous mission, along with the Mini-Uzi. It sees very little use however, as it is unusable as soon the player enters the Zodiac.
It is usually found with a Red Dot Sight, ACOG Scope, or no attachments at all.
===Multiplayer===
The RPD in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is unlocked at level 4, alongside Create-a-Class.
The RPD will deal forty damage at all ranges, netting a three shot kill, or a two shot kill to the head with two headshots. The RPD also has high penetration power. In Hardcore game types, the RPD is a one shot kill at all ranges, making it quite effective in that game mode. The RPD's damage with Stopping Power equipped is boosted to 56 damage per bullet, needing two shots to kill at all ranges. A single headshot from the RPD with Stopping Power applied will deal 78 damage.
The RPD fires fully automatically, with a fire rate of 705 RPM.
The RPD has recoil values of 70 to the left and 70 to the right. The RPD has no downwards recoil values, and two upwards recoil values. The RPD will kick upwards with a value of either 15 or 60. The RPD has a centerspeed value of 1700.
The RPD slows users down to 87.5% of the base movement speed, or 35% when strafing. The RPD's hip-fire accuracy is poor, and aiming down the sight takes 350 milliseconds. The RPD's reload animation is 9.7 seconds long. The user can Reload Cancel after 7.13 seconds.
The RPD, like other belt-fed LMGs, has a large 100 round belt to feed from. The user spawns in with two full belts for the RPD, one already loaded.
The RPD has the standard assortment of LMG attachments available for it. All attachments work as expected for the RPD.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops==
The RPD is cut from final version of the game, but it is possible to find it in weapon files, and it is most likely replaced by the RPK. The cut version used the same model as the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare model. Although the RPD does not appear in the final version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, occasionally on the main menu, footage on the TV screens will show Viet Cong using RPDs. It does appear in the sequel, Black Ops II.
==Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS)==
The RPD appears in the Nintendo DS version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, first spotted in the game's launch trailer. It can be seen with its original iron sights. It has a 100 rounds magazine, decent rate of fire and relatively fast reload time, however suffers from poor damage, (Stopping Power is recommended), though the almost non-existent recoil helps placing all shots on target. It is pre-unlocked for the enemy faction in multiplayer and 150 kills with it will unlock the PPSh-41. It is also possible to find the RPD in Zombie mode, in the Mystery Box. It can be found very frequently in the campaign and is extremely useful overall. It retains its original look from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 despite the fact that no attachments can be used. Overall, compared to the other LMGs, the M60 and XM22, the RPD has lower damage and slow reload, that are however compensated by much clearer ironsights and minimum recoil, which is almost the opposite, as the M60 and XM22 have both high recoil but high damage.

==Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3==
The RPD has appeared on the first two trailers of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, however it was cut later in development and most likely replaced with PKP Pecheneg.A screenshot of the Reveal Trailer at 0:52 where the Russian soldiers are holding what appear to be RPDs, judging by the barrel, magazine and stock. Also, in a cutscene in "Return to Sender", one of the militiamen is holding the RPD.
And in the Persona Non Grata cutscene, a loyalist soldier can be seen using a RPD.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops II==
The RPD appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II in campaign and Zombies. It has a high rate of fire, low recoil, clean iron sights and a 100-round magazine. Its appearance is very similar to its Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 counterpart, but has a different firing sound. In the campaign, it is used by many enemy forces (occasionally mounted), and is also available in the customized loadout from the beginning.

===Zombies===
The RPD can be acquired from the Mystery Box for 950 points in Green Run, Nuketown Zombies and Die Rise. It only does decent damage, but has a high rate of fire, large magazine and ammo reserve, making it good for earning points. However, it has extremely high visual recoil, which may disturb prolonged fire, making burst fire essential and limiting the advantages of the high rate of fire. It is inferior in almost every way to the HAMR, notably magazine size and reload speed. It falls short in its extremely slow reload time, therefore, Speed Cola is important. Double Tap II Root Beer is also a good fit, doubling damage and adding 33% increase to rate of fire, although this makes the recoil almost unmanageable under constant fire as well as emptying the magazine even faster.
When Pack-a-Punched via the Pack-a-Punch machine, it becomes the Relativistic Punishment Device, and gains a magazine of 125 rounds and increased damage. It can only be Pack-a-Punched once, like all other non-2025 weapons. Pack-a-Punching this gun gives the player the same style of shooting with more rounds and more power. Its overall effectiveness when Pack-a-Punched surpasses that of the HAMR; it has less recoil, and a good rate of fire. Compared to the SLDG-HAMR, the Relativistic Punishment Device has significantly less recoil and has cleaner iron sights, but the SLDG-HAMR has a higher rate of fire, much faster reload time, and has the ability to support attachments. It is mostly up to personal preference and playstyle as to which is better.
The RPD was nerfed in a patch, the same one that increased the recoil of many 2025 weapons (including the HAMR) by 30%. It too had a recoil increase of 30%. The Relativistic Punishment Device is not affected by this, and retains its low recoil.

==Call of Duty: Mobile==
The RPD returns in Call of Duty: Mobile. 
===Multiplayer===
The RPD is a mid to long range LMG. It has high damage at close to medium range, however the damage is still very high even at 40 meters range. It has mediocre rate of fire which allows it to have very comfortable recoil patterns, enabling it to engage long range fights with ease. Like other LMGs, it has slow mobility and a very slow ADS time.
===Battle Royale===
Although the RPD deals mediocre damage at close range, it truly excels at long range with its very low damage drop-off. It also has very comfortable recoil patterns. However, the gun suffers from huge mobility problems, making close range gunfights extremely disadvantageous.

==Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War==
The RPD returns in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
===Overview===
====Campaign====
The RPD is the Main LMG for the USSR. It is also used by Viet Cong Units during the 1968 Flashback missions. Qasim Javadi wields a RPD in "Nowhere Left to Run", but drops it to make a jump. Bell, Russell Adler and Dimitri Belikov wield RPD's when escaping from the KGB Headquarters.
====Zombies====
Within Dead Ops Arcade 3: Rise of the Mamaback, the RPD has replaced the M60 and BRM from the previous two Dead Ops Arcade installments as the default weapon of the series.
While in the standard Zombies mode the RPD can be brought into any map via Create-A-Class, at Loadout rarity and can be found at any rarity via the Mystery Box for 950 Essence. When upgraded by the Pack-a-Punch Machine it becomes the Ruinous Pain Distributor, garnering increased stats.

*The RPD's bipod will be removed if the Grip is attached.
===Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2===
*In multiplayer, the RPD is always reloaded as if there was an optical attachment (the casing is simply closed instead of being slammed with the player's fist).
*The Create-a-Class image shows the RPD with a grip attachment, mostly obscured by the drum.
*The remastered RPD has a serial number of 毛 22056 and a Chinese Factory 36 logo (36 in a triangle).

*The bipod of the RPD is folded in the world model, HUD icon and Create-a-Class icon.
*The number 100 can be seen written on the belt drum. It is not visible on the world model, but can be seen whilst inspecting the weapon.
*The RPD has a serial number of "220846" and the Chinese Factory 46 logo with a number 46 inside a triangle can both be seen engraved behind the belt feed mechanism.
===Call of Duty: Mobile===
*The RPD has a serial number of "15900719"
*The inscription can be seen written on the gun however, the third line is not clear enough to be seen.
