AK

The **AK** is an automatic assault rifle. It has a medium firing speed and is effective at most distances.

## Obtaining

* Floor loot includes    **AK** with two boxes of 20  Big Bullets each.
* Rebel Cache may contain  **AK** with two boxes of 20  Big Bullets each.

## Strategy

The AK has a good rate of fire, damage, clip size, and accuracy, making it well-suited for many different combat scenarios.

The AK has one of the lowest movement speeds in the game, making its user sluggish compared to other weapons. It is also outclassed in damage by faster weapons in close combat.

Keep a distance from the opponent while using this weapon, and be aware of surrounding dead angles to prevent getting ambushed by opponents who use the  Shotgun or the  SMG.

## Damage based on distance

Damage output depends on the distance travelled by a bullet before it hits the target. A bullet fired from the AK can travel up to 120 / 120 / 120 SAU, or 960px / 960px / 960px.

## Trivia

* The AK appears to be inspired by a world-renowned Russian assault rifle design known as the Avtomát Kaláshnikova, or simply the AK-47. Its name, form and function all mimic the real world counterpart closely.

## Patch History

* **AK'**s magazine capacity has been reduced from 30 to 25  Big Bullets.

**v1.1**

* Change in the AK’s recoil pattern. There is now more variation between the 3rd and 4th shot (from +4° down to -1° now).
* AK's spawn weight was reduced in non-solo game modes from 33 to 27. Spawn weight in  Rebel Caches from 10 to 8.

**v1.0**

* AK now has a more volatile recoil pattern for its first 3 shots, followed by a more centered pattern after that.
* Random recoil has been reduced from 4.2° to 3.6°.
* Running increases AK recoil by 33% now (previously was 21%).
* AK bullet speed increased by 6 (common is now 178, uncommon is 186, and rare is 194).

**v0.96.8**

* **AK'**s damage at point blank range reduced from 35 / 37 / 39 to 33 / 35 / 37, and damage at max range reduced from 25 / 28 / 31 to 23 / 26 / 29.
