The 'Carnage AR is an assault rifle available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Carnage AR exists as a highly adaptable option for New Conglomerate infantry. With a middle-of-the-road rate of fire and an uncharacteristically lower calibre round, the Carnage initially seems unimpressive, but a relatively controllable recoil pattern, generous cone-of-fire values, and a 0.75x ADS movement speed multiplier allow the Carnage to remain potent in a surprisingly wide range of scenarios.

The Carnage AR's lower calibre round and 0.75x ADS movement speed multiplier allow it to be easily compared to the GR-22, H-V45, and TAR. Though the Carnage fires 50 RPM slower and lacks access to Soft Point Ammunition, it earns a slew of benefits in comparison, including a faster reload speed than all three, friendlier damage drop-off, and considerably less recoil.

Attachments

Optic
HS/NV Scope (1x) 49 OR 30		Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.
TekLyte Reflex (1x) 49 OR 30		TekLyte's standard reflex sight allows for superior close-range target acquisition over traditional iron sights. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
GD RefleXR (2x) 49 OR 30		The RefleXR from Genudine Dynamics includes 2x magnification, making it the preferred sight for urban combat scenarios. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
LX Tacti-Eye (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Featuring 3.4x magnification and a simple crosshair, OcuLuxx's Tacti-Eye owes its success to its simplicity and ease of use.
LACO (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Utilizing a holographic red dot and 3.4x magnification, the NC's Laser-Assisted Combat Optics has significant flexibility over other mid-range scopes.
TrueShot (4x) 49 OR 30		The TrueShot makes use of a simple crosshair and 4x magnification. Its lightweight 'box' housing obscures less than typical scopes of its class.
LX Mark IV (4x) 49 OR 30		OcuLuxx's sturdy Mark IV scope features 4x magnification and a triple chevron reticle, allowing the user to compensate for bullet drop.

Barrel
Compensator 49 OR 100		A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil by 30%, and increasing hipfire cone of fire by 15%. The added sound pressure causes the player to show on the minimap 35m farther away.
Flash Suppressor 49 OR 100		A flash suppressor makes the shooter less visible to the enemy, but increases the range at which you appear on enemy minimaps by 15 meters.
Short Barrel 49 OR 100		This shortened barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 40% when firing from the hip, and increases vertical recoil by 20% while aiming down sights.
Suppressor 49 OR 100		The weapon's muzzle flash and noise generation is reduced, and the player no longer appears on the minimap when firing. In exchange, the weapon's damage falls off 20 meters sooner and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%.

Rail
Angled Forward Grip 49 OR 100		An angled forward grip reduces the vertical recoil of the first shot in a burst by 60%, but increase the side to side recoil of a weapon by 10%.
Darklight Flashlight 49 OR 100		The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position. The light can be turned on and off with Toggle Attachment hotkey.
Forward Grip 49 OR 100		A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%, but increases equip time by 0.15 sec.
Laser Sight 49 OR 100		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.

Ammo
Heavy Magazine 49 OR 100		Increases magazine size by 5 rounds, but increases hipfire cone of fire by 20%.
