GD-22S

Genudine Dynamics developed the 22S as a possible replacement for the NC6 SAW. In comparison to the SAW, it features a faster firing rate and reload time, but is limited by a 50-round detachable box magazine.

The GD-22S is a light machine gun available to the New Conglomerate. It is auto granted.

The Genudine Dynamics - 22S provides a simple and effective weapon for fast-paced gameplay. With a 50-round magazine that can be reloaded at speeds that put carbines and assault rifles to shame, and usable minimum hip cone-of-fire values, combined with a relatively simple recoil, the GD-22S perfectly suits a more aggressive playstyle, although the weapon's slightly lower rate-of-fire compared to similar options is a consideration.

The closest analogue to the GD-22S is the LA1 Anchor. Though they share the same damage model, the Anchor shoots faster and has slightly improved minimum hip cone-of-fire values. However, the GD-22S reloads considerably faster, and has a higher velocity as well as slightly friendlier recoil.

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) Auto Granted		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) 9 OR 5 (Red Dot) 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.
Heavy Barrel 49 OR 100		A heavy barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 20% while aiming down sights, but reduces aim down sights movement speed by 20%.
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 Auto Granted		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
Soft Point Ammunition 49 OR 100		Soft Point Ammunition increases the weapon's maximum damage range by 5 meters, but reduces its projectile velocity by 10%.

Damage Fall-off[]

_{Stats in yellow are with Soft Point Ammunition.}
- 167 before 10 meters (15 meters)
- 143 at 47 meters (49 meters)
- 125 after 75 meters (75 meters)
