LA8 Rebel

The  is a pistol available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Liberty Arsenal 8 Rebel is the ultimate expression of the New Conglomerate's design language, one that was mimicked in the Cerberus. With the highest damage-per-shot of any faction specific sidearm, the Rebel is excellent at quickly ending engagements through raw damage potential, with particularly excellent aimed accuracy enabling precise marksmen to deal considerable damage.

However, the Rebel struggles with a relatively small magazine and low fire rate, making it unforgiving in prolonged engagements and perhaps more difficult to use, and the minimum hip cone-of-fire isn't particularly favourable either, though not necessarily unusuable. The pistol's excellent aimed accuracy, relatively good damage fall-off, and high muzzle velocity do allow it a slight ranged bite, however headshots may be necessary to keep the weapon's time-to-kill similar to other sidearms.
