The AF-4A Bandit is a carbine available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Auraxis Firearms - 4A Bandit contests the LC3 Jaguar and Zenith VX-5 as the premier 'high-mobility' carbine. Featuring an incredibly tight minimum hip cone-of-fire—including while midair—a 0.75x ADS movement speed multiplier, and high damage-per-second, the Bandit is primed to be an excellent option for a fast-paced close-quarters playstyle, though the weapon's relatively lengthy reload speed and poor ranged performance does temper this power a bit.
