The AR-55 Autorifle is a versatile and effective fully automatic rifle. As this weapon is sold through the Quick Shop, it doesn't have to be unlocked before being able to buy it.

Attachments

The AR-55 Phase Autorifle can have 8 different Attachments installed on it, one for each slot. The type of attachment must be compatible with the weapons type, so only attachments that have Assault Rifle or Medium Ammo as a category can be installed onto an AR-55 Phase Autorifle.

Description

A decent fully automatic rifle, doesn't excel in any one department, but comfortably versatile and lethally effective.

Lore

The AR-55 Phase Autorifle was commissioned by the IFA in an attempt to improve standard Authority armament without further increasing their reliance on Korolev Heavy Industries. While the IFA would eventually settle with the SAR-62, CoTEC's AR-55 remains a popular weapon in private armies and corporate security forces, and has succeeded at being an effective market counter to the popular KOR-47.

Mk.II Variant

A contraband version of the AR-55, originally intended for use in the Demia Rebellion. More powerful than the mass produced version CoTEC would later sell to various frontier worlds.

The Mk.II variant of the AR-55 Autorifle has the following changed statistics:

The Mk.II version of the AR-55 Autorifle can only be found as loot on Fortuna III, which means it can't be crafted or bought in Prospect Station.
