- Extreme Stopping Power: The AR-TX rifle is designed to stop targets dead in their tracks, preferably in a literal sense. Even at range, the AR-TX is at the bleeding edge of small arms firepower.
- Targeting Package/Uplink: More a function of the scope than the rifle itself, the Targeting Package allows the user to mark and track a target, displaying information within the scope to aid in aiming for the killshot. The module features an uplink allowing it to sync with more powerful systems, and track multiple targets in this manner.
- Fast Reload: The Rifle is designed to support quick reloading, with a flared port for the power cell making it easier to insert the new ammo.
- Variable Scope: The scope has various magnification strengths, as well as a low-light mode, suitable for every occasion.
- Targeting Package: The onboard package is a weak one, only supporting a single target.
- Uplink: The Uplink does not work when inside a jamming field, or on missions requiring radio silence.
- Bulky: The rifle is rather large and heavy, meaning that it's difficult to lug around, and not ideal in CQC.
- Limited Ammo: The ammo capacity is limited, making it a less than ideal choice in a firefight.
Designed alongside the Resolve Commando Armor, the AR-TX rifle (commonly referred to as the Artax Rifle) was created to give the commandos an edge on the battlefield. Offering superior range and firepower, the AR-TX rifle is solid, dependable, and designed with the Resolve in mind. Though complaints have been filed, both on and off the record, about the size and weight of the rifle, anyone that's used it agrees that nothing's more fun than settling into a sniper's nest with this rifle at your side for an afternoon of fieldwork...
