Function

The Tactical Rifle fires high amounts of splash damaging bullets. It is a handy weapon against infantry, able to burn them or hit them with splash damage,and it can be "sprayed and prayed" over. It does mediocre damage on light armored vehicles, little damage to heavy armored vehicles or buildings. Even on the Master Control Terminal, its damage is mediocre.

The Tactical Rifle has an alternate fire mode (press X to switch) where it will fire a grenade instead. It has a cooldown of about 15 seconds, and the wielder can switch over back to rifle mode while waiting for the grenade to recharge. The grenade does high damage to infantry with a direct hit, and mediocre damage to buildings and vehicles.
