The Liberty Arsenal 8 Rebel is the ultimate expression of the New Conglomerate's design language, one that was mimicked in the Cerberus. With the highest damage-per-shot of any faction specific sidearm, the Rebel is excellent at quickly ending engagements through raw damage potential, with particularly excellent aimed accuracy enabling precise marksmen to deal considerable damage.
However, the Rebel struggles with a relatively small magazine and low fire rate, making it unforgiving in prolonged engagements and perhaps more difficult to use, and the minimum hip cone-of-fire isn't particularly favourable either, though not necessarily unusuable. The pistol's excellent aimed accuracy, relatively good damage fall-off, and high muzzle velocity do allow it a slight ranged bite, however headshots may be necessary to keep the weapon's time-to-kill similar to other sidearms.
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%.
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.
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the LA8 Rebel. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the pistol. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
The default ironsights of the Rebel are vertically misaligned, with the rear sights raised much higher than what would be appropriate. Attaching an optic sight will provide a better sight picture.
