Quick answer
The A-91 is one of the recorded recruit assault rifles and has no deployment price in the reviewed vendor snapshot. It uses 5.56×45 mm ammunition and offers semi-automatic and burst fire, but the same record shows no attachment support. That combination makes it a low-risk way to learn the purchase, magazine and objective loop without paying for the rifle itself.

The official Supporter Edition announcement names the A-91 as a Valkyra starter weapon for one of its cosmetic rewards. The free deployment price, dimensions and handling fields come from versioned community vendor records rather than a current official stat sheet.
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
The Bushmaster M17S and KH-2002 are the other recorded recruit rifles, while the Galil adds full-auto fire at a deployment and access cost. The AK74 and M4 sit farther along the documented Assault path.
Use the weapons directory to compare caliber, price and access, then use loadouts to budget the complete deployment.
Data version and sources
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.

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.
