CODEX
Solid, dependable and deadly. The Karak is a standard issue rifle in many Grineer platoons.

The **Karak** is an accurate Grineer assault rifle that is used by Frontier Elite Lancers. It features high damage, high accuracy, and a good fire rate, offset by its fairly low magazine size and limited critical hit potential. Overall, it serves as a very solid rifle capable for any range of combat.

## Weapon Loadouts

* See Category:Conclave:Karak Guides for guides on how to use this weapon effectively.
* For more general help with weapons, you may wish to browse Category:Weapon Guides.

## Tips

* With a File:Madurai Pol.svg polarity, the Karak is recommended to either have {{#vardefine:Name|Serration}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, {{#vardefine:Name|Split Chamber}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, or {{#vardefine:Name|Speed Trigger}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found as its first mod.
* The Karak is a solid anti-Corpus weapon due to its slight bias towards Impact damage over Puncture and Slash damage. Consider adding {{#vardefine:Name|Bane of Corpus}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found mods to further increase its effectiveness against them.
* The Karak is a very versatile weapon, good at combating all enemies, but aside from its high Impact damage and rate of fire, it doesn't excel in any particular situation.

## Trivia

* The end of the bound strap on the midsection of the gun has movement/cloth physics similar to Syandanas; it flaps loosely whilst moving and firing the weapon.
* Aesthetically, the rifle appears to be heavily based on the M16 assault rifle, with its filename data referring to it as the "*GrineerM16Rifle*", reinforcing the connection.
* This is the first official automatic Grineer Assault Rifle introduced in the game (following the burst-fire Hind rifle), as the Grakata is considered to be a submachine gun and the Gorgon is more of a Light Machine Gun.
* The weapon was introduced in {{#vardefine:Update|Update 11.5 }}{{#var:Update}}.
