- "Damn you, L-Brain Sidework!! First you took our MP5, and now our Glock 26! Why must you confound us so?! Wait no, I mean, what?... They're giving us the Steyr M as replacement? I mean, err... "

Summary
Overall, a very good weapon for free. Great range and accuracy, three shots to the body and two shots to the head to take down a un-upgraded Normal Zombie, and lots of ammo.
Although you may be tempted to stop using it after you get more expensive weapons, the Steyr M, which stands for Steyr-Mannlicher, can remain a usable weapon no matter what. The one thing you should be wary of is to not be too trigger-happy. Conserving ammo is always important and, due to its high firerate, you may want to do so.
Background Story
After the acts of espionage revolving the Glock 26, L-Brain Sidework was forced to create a new firearm to replace the former with. Scouts for the company had to work quickly, as a weapon free of shipping was needed for survivors new to the apocalypse. They came back with an abundance of blueprints for pistols, some of them not even having good schematics. Eventually, after testing every single weapon they could make out of the blueprints, the Steyr M was chosen as the best fit and put to mass production immediately.
Some people still wonder why they couldn't just make another SMG.
Tips
- Crouching and ADS'ing with this can enable it to be used at its full range, essentially making a pocket sniper.
- Be careful though. The Steyr M's accuracy may let you down when using it at the limits of its range.
- While shooting this repeatedly won't decrease the accuracy (unlike most other guns), this will quickly deplete your ammunition. Try to conserve ammo.
- If you only have this weapon on hand, it is best to stun mobs first and fire onto their heads in order to conserve ammo.
- Magazine giving armors, such as the Tactical I can be useful because it grants the Steyr M extra ammo while you work on getting a Primary.
- You can use the Double Equip system to bring a secondary with you, as opposed to a costly primary.
- Punching and Kicking then using the Steyr M is an effective way to kill zombies.
- Master this technique to make full use of this gun.
- Due to the Steyr M's ludicrously high total damage, high DPS and high ammunition count, especially when using Extra Ammo, this weapon is a good secondary for bosses.
- You can deal up to 2,640 damage if you use the Extra Ammo attachment, only being surpassed by the Peacemaker and the RPG.
- The Faster Reload attachments aren't really necessary for this gun.
- The Steyr M has one of the fastest reload times in the game, even without the attachment.
- Buying the 100% Faster Reloading attachment will make you reload the Steyr M in under a second.
- This may be useful when you have the money to splash out on it. However, it is generally better to save up for a better primary.
