Blakerow 871

"The Blakerow is a carbine with a high rate of fire compared to its bolt-action predecessor. This increased fire rate does come at the cost of innate stopping power; however, its versatility and lightweight frame more than make up for any perceived shortcomings."

- In-game description

The Blakerow 871 is a warden semi-automatic carbine best suited for short to mid range engagements. It has a slightly lower damage and range than the standard bolt-action warden Rifle.

Its effectiveness in close range is somewhat on par with the other CQC weapons, the SMG and the Shotgun, although falling slightly behind against the standard Rifle at longer ranges.


 * The Carbine is arguably one of the most versatile weapon in the game. Combining the range of its main counterpart, the bolt-action Rifles, and a rate of fire slightly higher than that of a Pistol.
 * While trading in for a higher rate of fire and magazine size, it sacrifices a small portion of its accuracy, range, and damage. However, the Carbine remains a very good mid-range weapon.
 * The damage of the Carbine can still be a solid 2 hit kill within it's effective range
 * Main perk of the carbine is it's very low encumbrance, allowing faster movement.
 * Like most other weapons, crouching and going prone significantly increases accuracy while firing.
