The  is a submachine gun available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked upon completion of the Master Submachine Guns directive.

The Tempest is an 'auraxium' variant of the AF-4 Cyclone, sharing most of the same base stats and decorated with a special 'auraxium' camo. Compared to the base weapon, the Tempest features a built-in Extended Magazine (without the equip time penalty). In exchange, the Tempest suffers from longer reload speeds.
