Summary
The RPK is a light machine gun part of the AK family. It deals huge damage along with its decent accuracy and range. Its big ammo magazine capacity will make you last a bit longer than other weapons. This is the perfect rival for the M249 and should be definitely be feared of.
Background Story
When the M249 was released, surely it had a big impact to the weapons industry. All of the pro's were going for this gun. Who wouldn't? It packs a punch, has decent ammo and can penetrate up to 3 zombies. All of these traits made the other guns look like garbage. It seems like everything is fine, but due to the big demand for that weapon, it made a huge problem for them. You see, M249s aren't easy to be manufactured. It costs alot of resources and materials to create one, and when R-Brain Hardwork only has limited resources, it'd create a big issue for them. They had to think for an alternative weapon, something cheap yet still a rival weapon for the M249. The RPK was the obvious solution for this. It wasn't long that other pro's have switched to the RPK for their main weapon.
Tips
- This weapon still slows you down, be sure to unequip this gun when not in use. (same walkspeed with the M249.)
- Be sure to crouch to maximize accuracy when firing.
- Equip the Drum Mag when fighting bosses to maximize damage.
- Be aware that you'll have to sacrifice your reload speed for this, making you vulnerable to the boss's attacks.
- If you prefer accuracy over than ammo count, then equipping Bipods than Drum Mag may be a good idea.
- Take advantage of the Hard Impact trait, try to line up zombies.
