Specter

The specter is a purchasable in Factions MP, released in the Survivalist Weapons Bundle.
== In Factions MP ==
=== Overview ===
The Specter is essentially a suppressed assault rifle, as both share a similar damage model and have a high rate of fire. In fact, it has the fastest rate of fire out of all weapons in The Last of Us. Its cost is similar to most other purchasables, requiring three loadout points and 315 parts to equip. Despite its relatively average initial cost, ammunition is expensive, starting at 390 parts for fifteen rounds. 
While it seems like a great pick at first, there are flaws with the Specter. While it can down enemies with two head shots, it takes six body shots to down an enemy. Although this is only slightly worse than similar weapons like the assault rifle and burst rifle, it also has significant recoil and spread when mag-dumping, which often leads to situations with you out of ammo and the enemy still standing. It also does not fare well against armor, as it takes an additional three body shots to down someone that's armored. As such, the Specter is situational, requiring finesse, good aim, and aggression to use.
Because of its low damage and high recoil, the Specter works best in close quarters, as its high fire rate can both quickly down enemies and cancel melee attacks if timed properly. It's also excellent for stealth, as one can easily flank enemies and drop them when their guard is down. However, the Specter isn't specifically limited to close range, as one could make it work in medium range provided they have sharpshooter equipped. An excellent weapon to pair it with is the suppressed 9mm pistol, as it's cheap, comes with ample ammo if gunslinger is equipped, and can down enemies from the shadows with ease.
