ShAK-12

The ShAK-12, developed by TsKIB SOO, is a high-caliber battle rifle used by Russian Special Forces since 2011. Designed for high-risk law enforcement operations, it delivers high stopping power with limited penetration and a short 'dangerous range' to minimize collateral damage. The rifle chambers specialized large-caliber ammunition, making it ideal for various close-quarters missions.

A classic heavy assault rifle with a high headshot damage multiplier, solid base damage, and good range that can be further increased with mods. Its excellent accuracy while aiming is balanced by average hip-fire accuracy, a relatively low magazine capacity, and noticeable recoil. In the hands of an experienced Rifleman, it becomes a truly formidable weapon.

Soon: Christmas Event and Agent

Winter has arrived, bringing the festive event Shattered Heart, filled with holiday magic and fun! Take part in PvP and PvE activities to earn event currency and unlock rewards from the new Ice Power weapon series.

The event features PvP Brawl mod, played on Xmas Factory, Trailer Park, and Forest maps.

The core mechanics of the event remain unchanged, but this time several new additions have been introduced, including:

extended event duration — four weeks instead of the usual three;
the ability to purchase camouflages from the new weapon series in the event Showcase. This is particularly useful if you already own the featured weapon, as camouflages are significantly cheaper than the weapon itself.

The winter fairytale is approaching; its arrival is scheduled for next Thursday.

Linus Rimmel, born into poverty and never seeing himself as a soldier, found purpose in the disciplined life of an island fortress garrison, where he finally felt he belonged. At that moment, he did not yet know that he was destined to turn against the very place that had become his sanctuary when Noda sought his help in rescuing General Wharton, imprisoned within its walls.

This Rifleman is equipped with the heavy ShAK-12 assault rifle featuring the Strike of Loyalty camo.

An agent skin and a special event will become available later on. Stay tuned for the news!
