Note:		Available as part of Fifth Anniversary Bundle.

The LC2 Lynx is a carbine available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Light Carbine 2 Lynx is a unique weapon among the carbine line-up, featuring amongst the fastest rate-of-fire of any weapon in the game at a blistering 909 RPM. The weapon is chambered for a less powerful round to achieve this feat, clocking in at only 125 damage per shot within the maximum damage range.

Unlike most close-quarters weaponry, the Lynx's recoil is relatively manageable, and the reload speed is moderately fast. However, the Lynx's low damage range causes the weapon's time-to-kill to increase drastically outside of the maximum damage range, though inside that range the weapon's headshot bullets-to-kill equals that of 143 damage weapons against standard 1000 health targets.

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%.
