Ammunition and limitations
Build the kit from the weapon screen: select compatible 5.56×45 mm ammunition, place at least one loaded magazine in the rifle and keep ready spares in storage. The reviewed record describes semi-auto and burst fire, so it does not fill the same suppression role as a full-auto rifle.
The catalog also marks the A-91 as unable to equip attachments. Do not buy an optic or rail item until the current customization screen shows that the weapon accepts it.
When to use it
Choose the A-91 when preserving cash matters more than customization. It leaves more of the first balance for a backpack, magazines, loose ammunition, protection and a role tool, and it makes a failed first deployment less expensive.
Burst fire rewards deliberate trigger use at short and middle distances. If a task needs sustained automatic fire, a specialist optic or a later Assault unlock, compare the full kit rather than replacing the rifle because it costs nothing.
Compare another option
Compare the current weapon roster by access, ammunition, task and total repeat-kit cost. The Season 02 order differs from the launch order, so an older higher-level or cheaper-weapon comparison is not a current ranking.
Use the weapons directory to compare caliber, price and access, then use loadouts to budget the complete deployment.
Data version and sources
The official Season 02 notes supersede earlier values only where a field is explicitly named. The table labels those replacements separately. The image, physical specifications and other unreconfirmed fields remain dated records reviewed on September 16, 2026.
Earlier source record: Starter-weapon identity is corroborated by the official Steam announcement. The item image and remaining fields are community vendor records reviewed on September 16, 2026; Early Access can change compatibility and handling. A current vendor prompt remains the deciding source before buying ammunition or accessories.
Read every value with its version.
Official changes use first-party announcements. Item fields without a current official table remain labeled as dated gameplay records until they can be checked in the public client.
