The T1B Cycler is an assault rifle available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The T1B Cycler is a variant of the T1 Cycler, equivalent to the Gauss Rifle Burst and Equinox VE2 Burst, being a modification of the standard issue assault rifle that sacrifices the typical full-automatic fire mode for heavily reduced recoil on a burst fire mode.

There is no enforced delay between bursts on the T1B Cycler. If the user perfectly times their trigger pulls, the T1B Cycler's maximum fire rate is indeed 750 RPM.

Like most dedicated burst weaponry, the T1B Cycler enjoys reduced recoil on the first shot of each burst, where most automatics suffer increase recoil on that same first shot. Changing fire modes (B by default) to semi-automatic will return this recoil reduction to an increase, subjecting each of the weapon's shots to heavier recoil.
