The AF-4 Cyclone is a submachine gun available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.
The Auraxis Firearms - 4 Cyclone is the New Conglomerate option for a submachine gun an incredibly high damage output, competing primarily with the SMG-46 Armistice. Though the Cyclone's rate-of-fire is considerably lower, the far larger calibre keeps the weapon's damage output up at a highly competitive level, with the gun further being particularly accurate and enjoying a very fast reload. Though the Cyclone's theoretical damage-per-minute is lower, the higher calibre bullet allows it to kill on headshot notably faster at close ranges than the Armistice.
The AF-4 Cyclone's brother, the Blitz GD-10, sacrifices a large amount of the Cyclone's signature damage output for a much larger, 50-round magazine, without sacrificing much (if any) of the accuracy that also allows the Cyclone to remain a threat out to mid-range.
Its other faction-exclusive brother, the MGR-S1 Gladius, shares more similiarities with the AF-4 than it does with the GD-10. Both are low-capacity, high-damage SMGs, though the Gladius takes that further by being one damage tier above the AF-4 at all ranges in exchange for a 130 round per minute slower rate of fire and mildly worse accuracy statistics when sighted and from the hip. The Gladius also lacks any options to increase its magazine capacity, though it has one more round than the AF-4 by default.
The AF-4 Cyclone, alongside the Eridani SX5 and SMG-46 Armistice, is part of the so-called 'first generation' of submachine guns, as the three were the first wave of faction-specific weapons to be released in the class.
