This is a review of the newest update of R2DA, being v.1.00.

arguements aside on whether or not PR knows how update number work, let's take a look at the M249.

The M249

This is a completely new weapon, not being in any of the previous iteration of R2D. It pretty much is a direct upgrade from the minigun, and it's rank requirement and price tag show this. With the M249 being unlocked at Rank 25 and priced at 85,000. It's effective range is on par with the minigun's, but with almost double the accuracy. It has the 3rd most highest damage (excluding the RPG for obvious reasons) in the entire game and boast a whopping DPS of 792. and here's the kicker, it can 'gather ammo from stations and gain extra ammo from vest. Overrall I can easily see this as the New meta for higher ranks if you're not running a Barrett .50BMG. 'On from the OP weapon and onto the...

FAMAS

The Famas is a nostalgic weapon from Pappa P. another weapon brought back from past R2Ds, this being it's second generation. Like the FAMAS in the previous R2D, the update it was introduced brought in an OP gun to frown upon in the right hands. Unlike he FAMAS in R2D 2014, this weapon is incredibly accurate for an automatic weapon. The FAMAS is the Englishman's equivalent of an AK here...for some odd reason... It's pretty much an AK with more reach and ammo, but slightly less damage (and DPS).

The RPG

Deals the highest damage in the entire game, capable of wiping out a brute or horde in a single shot. It has a blast radius similar to a grenade, but somewhat smaller. While you can get extra rockets through double equip, they probably won't last long or you won't use them all in a single life. It's rather situational, being used for hordes or a few brutes.

The Karambit

A literal upgrade from the Rambo knife, but it's price tag and rank negate this a bit, and makes it worse than the Rambo at when you can get it. It's obtained at rank 16 for 32,000, while the Rambo is obtained for 25,000 at rank 11. the only thing the Karambit has over the Rambo is and odd climbing mechanic it has... I'm not sure where climbing came from a knife, but it's a good utility to quickly escape from zombies. Unless you have an Edgar or Brute on your ass.

Toy boy

Joke weapon, nothing more to say.

elaborate? The weapon is unreliable in pretty much any situation. While it could be useful for support, the sniper rifles do that job much better by just outright killing the zombie. the only use for it is to trip a charged brute so your comrades can do more damage.
