Autorifle

A light rapid-fire slugthrower. This weapon is fairly accurate and long range. It doesn't do a lot of health or shock damage, but it can whittle down an enemy if you have enough time.

Offensive Tactics
Not much to using the autorifle: point and click. The effective range is unlimited, but there is a little spread to the bullets, so it doesn't do as much damage at a distance.

It's also important to note that although it doesn't do a lot of damage (shock or health), it hits repeatedly, thus causing many shock critical checks. One of them is likely to cause a hook drop or a fumble, or even a knockout against a heavily weakened opponent.

Defensive Tactics
To not get hit by the autorifle, simply don't have it pointing at you.
