Gameplay

The EF88 magazine holds 30 rounds.
Can be fired on automatic and semi-automatic.
The sights for the EF88 include integrated carrying handle optic (1.5×) only.
- The carrying handle optic (1.5×) allows a clear sight picture for close- and medium-range combat, but it doesn't allow zeroing.
F88 shares its damage model and ballistic performance with EF88 and EF88C.
- The 833 rounds per minute rate of fire sits above average for most automatic weapons. It can output serious firepower in close-quarter combat but makes the gun more difficult to control.
- The F88, just like EF88 and EF88C, currently has the fastest muzzle velocity out of all light weapons in-game, at 970 m/s.
F88 is classified in-game as Bullpup. Bullpups offer better moving sway control and pointing responsiveness in handling at the expense of slightly higher recoil.
- They output regular suppression effects and are effective at all ranges.
F88 rifles have a Foregrip attached. However, the Foregrip attachment is cosmetic and does not improve the gun handling as of Version 6.0.

History

The F88 Austeyr is an Australian variant of the Austrian Steyr AUG A1 (a gas-operated rotating-bolt bullpup) license built by Lithgow Arms. Some modifications were made to suit Australian service. In 1985, it was selected by the ADF as the standard-issue rifle. The weapon notably features a 1.5x optic with a “donut-of-death” reticle, a foldable foregrip, and a single-shot lock-out button beneath the trigger.

Trivia

On certain layers before the implementation of map voting, such as Chora RAAS v3, the F88 replaced the standard EF88 rifles of the Australian Defense Force.
