Summary

Newbie is a weapon given to the player during the tutorial. It is a modified Steyr M with a Trainee skin applied to it.

Background Story

While groups of survivors were creating training courses for new recruits, they needed a weapon for recruits to use. Since L-Brain Sidework gave the Steyr M out for free, they allowed new recruits to try it out before they got the real thing. To conserve ammo, they gave only one extra magazine and 3 bullets per mag. They also used the Trainee skin to signal that the person holding it was a recruit. The use of this weapon was limited to training courses.
