The AF-34 Mattock is a MAX Anti-Infantry arm available to the New Conglomerate. Each arm is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Auraxis Firearms - 34 Mattock is the long-range option for the New Conglomerate's MAX. While dealing relatively low damage-per-second compared to the NCM1 Scattercannon, it is able to stay surprisingly lethal through the ability to project its damage out to range thanks in equal parts to a generous damage fall-off and a tight pellet spread, combined with the second shortest reload time in the arsenal.
