Developed by CM Games and released on July 20th, 2020, '''''Into the Radius VR''''' is a VR action survival game heavily inspired by the Soviet novel ''Roadside Picnic'' and the ''[[Stalker|S.T.A.L.K.E.R.]]'' video game series. The game takes place in a large, open-world wasteland located in Russia known as the "Pechorsk Exclusion Zone" or "Radius," which was the site of an unexplainable supernatural disaster in 1987. Hired by the United Nations Pechorsk Special Committee, or UNPSC, the player (an "Explorer") ventures across the Radius, gathering information and competing missions, scavenging supplies and equipment, recovering strange, powerful Artifacts, and fending off monstrous Entities. | |||

Money can be earned from completing missions or by selling unwanted items. To gain access to more powerful firearms, the player must increase their "Security Level" by completing main story missions and passing a training course; the player begins the game with a Security Level of 0 and may reach a maximum level of 5. Firearms, magazines, and some attachments degrade at an unrealistically high pace in ''Into the Radius VR,'' requiring the player to either spend money at the shop to have them repaired or utilize their own tools (a toothbrush + cleaning spray and a cleaning rod + toilet paper) to manually clean them. Neglecting to clean one's equipment causes it to appear rusty and smudged, giving it an increased chance to jam, in the case of a firearm, or fail to feed, in the case of a magazine. The player can carry one handgun (in a holster attached to their hip) and one long gun (over their dominant shoulder) at a time and may carry up to four magazines in pouches mounted to their tactical vest. Loot found in the Radius and extra supplies, including cartons of ammunition, extra magazines, food, knives, a gas mask, or one additional long gun, can be stored in the player's backpack, but heavier loads slow the player down and require them to replenish their stamina by eating more often. | ||

Submachine guns (or SMGs) are one of the types of primary weapon available in ''Into the Radius VR.'' They fire pistol cartridges at very high rates of fire, which, in a game focused around ammunition conservation and making accurate single shots at long range, results in submachine guns being a second or third choice for most situations. Unlike shotguns, most submachine guns can be suppressed, however, meaning that this weapon class still finds some utility when stealthy close-quarters firepower is required, such as within the confines of Pobeda Factory.

Unlike shotguns, most submachine guns can be suppressed, however, meaning that this weapon class still finds some utility when stealthy close-quarters firepower is required, such as within the confines of Pobeda Factory. Much like pistols, all submachine guns can be modified at the store to add rails for various attachments and many come pre-equipped with a threaded barrel for attaching a pistol suppressor. Most submachine guns also have access to unique, mutually exclusive upgrades to either increase (+20%) or decrease (-20%) their base rate of fire, depending on if ammo conservation or increased firepower is desired. | ||

The choke of each shotgun can be adjusted at the store to drastically increase or decrease the spread of buckshot and, as with other firearms, shotguns may be modified to add rail mounts for optical sights and other attachments. All shotguns (except the Saiga) also feature a side saddle on the left side of the gun that can hold up to 6 spare shells to facilitate rapid reloading. | ||

Gameplay-wise, it is statistically indistinguishable from the IZh-27 that replaced it. | ||

Assault rifles are generally the most useful class of primary weapon for a mid-game Explorer. Possessing good damage characteristics, serviceable armor-piercing ability, sizeable magazines, decent accuracy, and the ability to fire in full-auto or semi-automatic, assault rifles can be extremely useful in both close and medium-range combat when equipped with a decent optic and a laser attachment. They begin to struggle at longer ranges, however, and their pricey ammunition makes full-auto much more costly compared to submachine guns. | Assault rifles are generally the most useful class of primary weapon for a mid-game Explorer.

They begin to struggle at longer ranges, however, and their pricey ammunition makes full-auto much more costly compared to submachine guns.

The AUG can be upgraded to increase its accuracy by 10% and to swap the fully-automatic firemode for a three-round burst. | ||

==OTs-14-4A Groza== | |||
An [[OTs-14-4A Groza]] can be purchased for $7500 after reaching Security Level 4. Its most defining feature is a permanently-affixed GP-30 grenade launcher, which can be used to launch caseless 40 mm VOG-25 grenades and is operated with the trigger on the forward hand; care should be taken to avoid blowing oneself up! It is otherwise similar to the other 9x39mm rifles in the sense that it has high damage per shot and very pronounced bullet drop. The Groza is tied with the AKS-74U for the worst accuracy of the assault rifles, however, and is not integrally suppressed (although a PBS-1 suppressor may be attached). As with submachine guns, the firerate of the Groza may be tweaked (+20% or -20%) through upgrades and its poor accuracy can be somewhat curbed with a +15% boost at the upgrade station. Various rail mounting points can also be added. | |||

=Rifles= | =Rifles= | ||
==Mosin Nagant | ''Into the Radius VR'' features two weapons that do not fit cleanly within other rifle weapon categories. | ||
==Mosin Nagant Model 1938 Carbine== | |||
A [[Mosin Nagant Model 1938 Carbine]] can be purchased for $5500 after reaching Security Level 3. The Mosin is the first truly high-powered long-ranged rifle available to the player and has both extremely high damage per shot and good armor-piercing abilities. There are no clips in the Radius, however, meaning that the Mosin must be reloaded one bullet at a time. With a base capacity of only 5 rounds, the Mosin is a powerful rifle with heavy drawbacks, meaning that it is best suited for a player with steady hands and nerves of steel. The Mosin can equip a PU scope without any modifications, but two rails (one for optical sights and the other for lasers or flashlights) can be added at the upgrade station. | |||

==SKS-D== | ==SKS-D== | ||
An [[SKS-D]] can be purchased for $3200 after reaching Security Level 2. Utilizing the same 10 and 30-round magazines as the AKM, the semi-automatic SKS is inferior to any of the game's assault rifles as a primary weapon. Its only benefits compared to the AKs are its good accuracy, low price, and low security level requirement. The SKS can be fitted with a PU scope, and its pool of available modifications includes various rail attachment points, a 30% recoil reduction, and a DTK suppressor adaptor. A bayonet was available for the rifle in the 1.0 version of ''Into the Radius VR,'' but it was removed when the game was updated to version 2.0. | |||

=Battle Rifles= | =Battle Rifles= | ||
==FN FAL== | A step above the intermediate-caliber assault rifles, battle rifles offer a mid/late-game Explorer a full-powered punch of damage. Hard-hitting, accurate, and possessing incredible armor penetration, battle rifles are adept at any range, but their weight, heavy recoil, and expensive ammunition can be difficult to manage. All battle rifles in ''Into the Radius VR'' are chambered in 7.62x51mm and feed from a 20-round magazine, meaning that it mostly comes down to personal preference and playstyle as to which rifle one uses. | ||
==FN FAL 50.00== | |||
An early [[FN FAL 50.00]] with wooden furniture can be purchased for $6500 after reaching Security Level 4. The FAL has the fastest firerate of the three available battle rifles, but it also deals the least damage per shot and is the most inaccurate. The FN FAL is compatible with the so-called NATO Suppressor and can be modified to adjust the firerate (±20%), add additional rails for attachments, and increase the accuracy by 10%. | |||

==FN SCAR-H== | ==FN SCAR-H== | ||
An [[FN SCAR-H]] (known as the "FN-17" in-game) can be purchased for $12000 after reaching Security Level 5. This extremely expensive battle rifle serves as the "jack-of-all-trades" of its class, featuring middling firerate, damage, accuracy, and muzzle velocity. It is select-fire, comes with lots of attachment points, and can be suppressed. The stock can also be folded, although this is of questionable utility. It can be upgraded to reduce its recoil by 20% and its ability to fire in full-auto can be swapped for a three-round burst. | |||

==M14== | ==M14== | ||
An [[M14]] can be purchased for $7500 after reaching Security Level 4. The battle rifle of choice for those who prefer single, devastating shots, the M14 deals the highest damage per shot and is the most accurate of its peers. Unlike the FN FAL and the SCAR-H, the M14 is semi-automatic only, which can limit its effectiveness in higher-pressure close-quarters situations. The M14 can be upgraded to reduce its recoil by 20% and to add rails for attachments. It cannot be suppressed. | |||

=Sniper Rifles= | |||
Sniper rifles are, to absolutely no surprise, rifles tooled for long-range combat. They feature very high damage per shot, great accuracy, and a low firerate. Sniper rifles do not come with optics beyond iron sights, so a scope must be purchased or found to put them to full effectiveness at range. | |||
==Lobaev Arms DVL-10 M1 "SABOTEUR"== | |||
A [[Lobaev Arms DVL-10]] "SABOTEUR" in M1 configuration can be purchased for $10000 after reaching Security Level 5. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, the DVL-10 justifies its hefty price tag and steep unlock requirements by offering the highest single-shot damage of any firearm in the game. It feeds from a detachable 10-round magazine and is integrally suppressed, meaning that the rifle needs no extra attachments or costly maintenance to provide a stealthy one-hit kill at any range. The DVL-10's greatest drawback is its low rate of fire, owing to the fact that it is a bolt-action rifle. It can be upgraded to increase its reliability by 15% and to reduce its weight by 1kg. | |||

==SVD Tiger== | ==SVD Tiger== | ||
An [[SVD Dragunov|SVD Tiger]] can be purchased for $8000 after reaching Security Level 4. A civilian version of the SVD, the Tiger rifle is considered by many to be the most overpowered weapon in ''Into the Radius VR.'' It is chambered in 7.62x54mmR, fires semi-automatically, and feeds from a 10-round detachable magazine, a combination that makes the Tiger an easy-to-use "point-and-click" weapon with very high accuracy, high damage (albeit less than the DVL), and incredible armor penetration. It comes with a dovetail rail to attach a PSO-1 scope or Kobra holographic sight, but this can be swapped for a standard Picatinny rail if a Western optical sight is desired. Available upgrades include a suppressor adaptor, an additional rail, and a 30% recoil decrease for faster follow-up shots. | |||

==VSS Vintorez== | ==VSS Vintorez== | ||
A [[VSS Vintorez]] can be purchased for $7500 after reaching Security Level 4. The Vintorez has much more in common with the AS Val assault rifle than it does the other two sniper rifles, making it somewhat of an oddball. It deals the least damage per shot and has by far the worst muzzle velocity of the snipers, making it a bit of a chore to use at long range. This is balanced by the Vintorez's very high firerate (900 rpm semi-auto only), large magazine size (20 rounds, with AS Val magazine), and exceptionally quiet nature (joint best in the game). The Vintorez is compatible with Russian dovetail optics and can be upgraded to increase its reliability by 15% and to add additional Picatinny rails. | |||

== | ==GP-30 Grenade Launcher== | ||
A [[GP-30 grenade launcher]] (known in-game as the "GP32") can be purchased for $1500 after reaching Security Level 3. The OTs-14-4A Groza features an integrated GP-30 as well. It can be mounted underneath the barrel of the AKM, AK-74, and AK-74M or used by itself. VOG-25 40mm grenades, which can be found somewhat rarely in the Radius or purchased for $75 apiece after reaching Security Level 3, can be brought to the muzzle of the launcher to load it and the trigger on the hand holding the rifle's foregrip can be used to fire it. The GP-30 has adjustable sights that can be set to 100m graduations up to 400m, and the sights can be configured for either direct or indirect fire. | |||

Grenades can be found in the Radius or purchased at the store and serve as a useful utility for taking care of enemies behind cover or inside buildings. They require some practice to use, as the player must physically throw them. Fragmentation is modeled, so an Explorer must take care not to blow themselves up with a poorly-thrown grenade. | |||
==F-1== | ==F-1== | ||
[[F-1 hand grenade]]s can be purchased for $75 after reaching Security Level 3 or found rarely in the Radius. They are the more powerful type of lethal grenade, having a large blast radius and releasing lots of fragmentation. F-1 grenades, however, are quite heavy and their potential for self-damage is high. | |||

[[RDG-2 smoke grenade]]s can be purchased for $25 after reaching Security Level 2. Cheap and simple, these smoke grenades emit a large cloud of white smoke that can be used to break line of sight with enemies, allowing the player to advance to cover or make a hasty retreat. They can be found commonly across the Radius as low-tier loot. | |||

[[RGD-5 hand grenade]]s can be purchased for $50 after reaching Security Level 2.

Developed by CM Games and released on July 20th, 2020, Into the Radius VR is a VR action survival game heavily inspired by the Soviet novel Roadside Picnic and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. video game series. The game takes place in a large, open-world wasteland located in Russia known as the "Pechorsk Exclusion Zone" or "Radius," which was the site of an unexplainable supernatural disaster in 1987. Hired by the United Nations Pechorsk Special Committee, or UNPSC, the player (an "Explorer") ventures across the Radius, gathering information and competing missions, scavenging supplies and equipment, recovering strange, powerful Artifacts, and fending off monstrous Entities.
The following weapons appear in the video game Into the Radius VR:
Overview
Weapons in Into the Radius VR can be obtained (in poor condition) through randomly-spawning loot crates found in the Radius or purchased from a main UNPSC store at the player's home base. Money can be earned from completing missions or by selling unwanted items. To gain access to more powerful firearms, the player must increase their "Security Level" by completing main story missions and passing a training course; the player begins the game with a Security Level of 0 and may reach a maximum level of 5. Firearms, magazines, and some attachments degrade at an unrealistically high pace in Into the Radius VR, requiring the player to either spend money at the shop to have them repaired or utilize their own tools (a toothbrush + cleaning spray and a cleaning rod + toilet paper) to manually clean them. Neglecting to clean one's equipment causes it to appear rusty and smudged, giving it an increased chance to jam, in the case of a firearm, or fail to feed, in the case of a magazine. The player can carry one handgun (in a holster attached to their hip) and one long gun (over their dominant shoulder) at a time and may carry up to four magazines in pouches mounted to their tactical vest. Loot found in the Radius and extra supplies, including cartons of ammunition, extra magazines, food, knives, a gas mask, or one additional long gun, can be stored in the player's backpack, but heavier loads slow the player down and require them to replenish their stamina by eating more often.
Handguns
Best used as a backup weapon or in close-quarters combat, handguns are an Explorer's best friend in Into the Radius VR. All handguns can be upgraded at the store to add an underbarrel rail, threaded suppressor mount (does not apply to the Desert Eagle and MP-412 REX), and red dot sight mount. Common ammunition types for handguns include:
- Full metal jacket (FMJ) - standard
- Armor-piercing (AP) - decreased damage, increased armor penetration, more expensive
- Subsonic (SS) - significantly decreased damage, decreased armor penetration and noise, less expensive
- Overpressure (+P) - significantly increased damage and armor penetration, much more expensive
Beretta 92FS
A Beretta 92FS (depicted with M9 markings and called the "M9 Beretta") can be purchased for $1500 after reaching Security Level 2. Feeding from a 15-round magazine, tied with the TT-33 for the highest damage-per-shot of the non-magnum pistols, and capable of firing a wide array of powerful 9x19mm ammunition, the Beretta 92FS is considered by many to be the most useful pistol in Into the Radius VR.
Desert Eagle Mark XIX
A Desert Eagle Mark XIX chambered in .357 Magnum can be purchased for $5500 after reaching Security Level 4. The heaviest and second-most powerful handgun in Into the Radius VR, it deals enough damage to kill almost any enemy in the game with a one bullet, but its expensive ammunition, low accuracy, and high recoil encourage precise, single shots. As an added bonus, the "Desert Eagle" comes pre-equipped with a ported barrel and two rail attachment points, one on top of the barrel and one underneath it. It feeds from a 9-round magazine and can fire soft-point (incorrectly called FMJ in-game) or "Surplus" ammunition, which deals less damage but is significantly less expensive.
Glock 17
A 4th Generation Glock 17 can be purchased for $700 after reaching Security Level 1. As a high-capacity automatic pistol, it fulfills a similar role to the GSh-18 in-game, although the Glock deals more damage per shot in exchange for having more expensive ammunition. It is the first weapon chambered in 9x19mm available in-game.
Glock 18C
A Glock 18C (or "G18c" as it is known in-game) can be purchased for $3500 after reaching Security Level 3. This select-fire Glock deals moderate damage per shot and has an extremely high rate of fire, but with a magazine of just 17 rounds it is very easy to blow through all of one's ammunition in a fraction of a second when faced with a stressful situation. It is one of two machine pistols available in-game, the other being the OTs-33 "Pernach."
GSh-18
A GSh-18 can be purchased for $600 after reaching Security Level 1. The high-capacity pistol is depicted incorrectly as firing 9x18mm Makarov, however. The GSh-18 is a substantial upgrade over the starting Makarov PM pistol because of the former's increased magazine size (18 vs. 8) and higher base damage (despite firing the same cartridge.) When using AP or +P ammunition, the GSh-18 remains a strong choice for players throughout most of the game due to its high capacity, high base damage, and acceptable armor-piercing performance.
Makarov PM
A Makarov PM is the player's starting weapon and can also be purchased for $300 starting at Security Level 0. One free PM also respawns every few in-game days just inside the Radius. Featuring low damage, low magazine capacity, and low armor-piercing ability, the PM is serviceable only as an early-game sidearm and is best replaced by any other handgun available in Into the Radius. Its one saving grace is that its ammunition is cheap to purchase and easy to scavenge.
MP-412 REX
The MP-412 REX can be purchased for $6000 starting at Security Level 2. Added to the game as part of the 2.7 Update, the REX deals 50% more damage per shot compared to the already powerful Desert Eagle Mark XIX (despite firing the same ammunition), ensuring that anything unlucky enough to catch a round from this six-shooter won't get back up. This extreme power, however, is kept in check by the revolver's small capacity, high recoil, poor iron sights, somewhat poor accuracy, and its inability to mount a suppressor.
OTs-33 Pernach
An OTs-33 Pernach can be purchased for $2200 after reaching Security Level 2. Feeding from a 27-round magazine and capable of firing at 600 rpm, the Pernach offers extreme firepower in a small package at the cost of potential ammo wastage and high recoil. The select-fire pistol is known in-game as the OC-33, which is an alternate romanization of its Russian name.
Tokarev TT-33
A Tokarev TT-33 can be purchased for $500 after reaching Security Level 1. The TT-33 has high damage-per-shot and good anti-armor performance compared to other sidearms, especially those chambered in 9x18mm Makarov. The Tokarev's relatively small capacity of 8+1 rounds, however, limits its effectiveness in later parts of the game.
Submachine Guns
Submachine guns (or SMGs) are one of the types of primary weapon available in Into the Radius VR. They fire pistol cartridges at very high rates of fire, which, in a game focused around ammunition conservation and making accurate single shots at long range, results in submachine guns being a second or third choice for most situations. Unlike shotguns, most submachine guns can be suppressed, however, meaning that this weapon class still finds some utility when stealthy close-quarters firepower is required, such as within the confines of Pobeda Factory. Much like pistols, all submachine guns can be modified at the store to add rails for various attachments and many come pre-equipped with a threaded barrel for attaching a pistol suppressor. Most submachine guns also have access to unique, mutually exclusive upgrades to either increase (+20%) or decrease (-20%) their base rate of fire, depending on if ammo conservation or increased firepower is desired.
Heckler & Koch MP5K "Reverse Stretch"
A Heckler & Koch MP5K can be purchased for $3500 after reaching Security Level 2. This is a custom variant of the classic SMG known as a "reverse stretch," meaning that it is a hybrid of the MP5A5 and MP5K. This allows it to feature both the folding stock and trigger group of the former and the forend of the latter. Owing to its Navy three-round burst trigger group, this MP5 can fire in semi-automatic, 3-round burst, or full-auto. It is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, feeds from a 30-round magazine, and comes pre-fitted with a threaded barrel for a pistol suppressor.
MP Jelen
An MP Jelen can be purchased for $1850 after reaching Security Level 1. Known in-game simply as the "PPSh," this super-short SMG is the first (and by far the most crude) submachine gun available to the player. Firing 7.62x25mm Tokarev and utilizing the same 35 and 71-round magazines as the full-length PPSh-41 available later in the game, the MP Jelen is questionably effective at best and serves only as a cheap, accessible option for a player who wants to use an SMG during the very early-game at any cost. It may be upgraded to attach an optical sight mount and underbarrel rail.
PP-91 Kedr
A PP-91 Kedr can be purchased for $2000 after reaching Security Level 2. The weapon's stock can be folded or unfolded, but this has no effect on recoil in-game and is purely an aesthetic choice. The PP-91 Kedr can use 20 or 30-round magazines and comes with a threaded barrel to attach a pistol suppressor, if so desired.
PP-2000
A PP-2000 can be purchased for $3000 starting at Security Level 2. It feeds from a 20-round magazine and comes equipped with a suppressor adaptor and top rail attachment point. The PP-2000 can be fired in semi-automatic or full-auto, but an upgrade can be purchased that (somehow) swaps the full-auto firemode for a three-round burst. In terms of raw damage, the PP-2000 is the most powerful 9x19mm Parabellum firearm in Into the Radius VR.
PPSh-41
Heavy, powerful, and capable of firing at an incredible 1000 RPM, a PPSh-41, known as the "PPSh Full" in-game (as it is the "full" version of the much shorter MP Jelen), can be purchased for $3000 after reaching Security Level 2 and can be upgraded to add an optical sight mount and underbarrel rail. Both 35-round stick magazines and 71-round drum magazines are available for the PPSh-41, but drum magazines cannot be purchased from the main store and must be found as loot in the Radius.
Shotguns
Shotguns in Into the Radius VR generally offer very high single-shot firepower at the expense of low magazine size and a cumbersome reloading process. All shotguns are chambered in 12 gauge and can use one of two ammunition types: buckshot (red shell), which fires a spread of pellets that rip through unarmored enemies at short to mid-range, and slugs (blue shell), which fire a single, accurate projectile that is better against armored enemies and at longer ranges. The choke of each shotgun can be adjusted at the store to drastically increase or decrease the spread of buckshot and, as with other firearms, shotguns may be modified to add rail mounts for optical sights and other attachments. All shotguns (except the Saiga) also feature a side saddle on the left side of the gun that can hold up to 6 spare shells to facilitate rapid reloading.
Baikal IZh-27
A Baikal IZh-27 can be purchased for $1500 after reaching Security Level 1. This Soviet over-under double-barreled shotgun is powerful and accurate, especially in the early-game before armored enemies become commonplace, but the IZh-27 is limited to just two shots before it must be reloaded and kicks heavily. Its length and weight can hinder the user in close-quarters combat and when traveling across the large, open Radius. The IZh-27 may be upgraded to add an optical sight mount and a rail on the side of the gun for attachments.
Sawed-Off
A sawed-off version of the IZh-27 can be purchased for $500 and lacks a security level requirement. Black electrical tape is wound around what remains of the shotgun's stock, which has been cut down significantly along with the barrels. Compared to the full-length version, the IZh-27 Sawed-Off is slightly less accurate and much louder. It features the same upgrade options as its parent and one is given to the player for free after they complete the first mission.
Baikal IZh-81
A Baikal IZh-81 can be purchased for $3000 after reaching Security Level 2. The IZh-81 can hold up 4+1 rounds in its magazine tube, but this may be extended to 8+1 after purchasing an upgrade. An optical sight mount and two rail attachment points (one underneath the barrel and one on the side of it) can also be added via the game's upgrade system. Powerful and accurate, the IZh-81 is a significant step up over the IZh-27.
Franchi SPAS-12
A Franchi SPAS-12 with no stock can be purchased for $5500 after reaching Security Level 4. The SPAS-12 compensates for its high price and steep unlock criteria with a high magazine capacity (8+1 shells) and the ability to fire semi-automatically. Upgrades for the SPAS-12 include an extended magazine tube (+4 shells), a rail for mounting optical sights, and two barrel-mounted rails for attachments.
Saiga 12K
A Saiga 12K can be purchased for $8000 after reaching Security Level 5. This Saiga 12K is a mixture of various custom parts, including a conical flash hider, a super-short barrel, a Galil-esque side-folding stock, and an AK-series wooden foregrip. It is chambered in 12 gauge and can use 5-round or 10-round magazines, although the latter are few in number and can only be found within special treasure "Stashes" hidden in the Radius.
Side-By-Side Double Barreled Shotgun
A generic hammerless side-by-side double barreled shotgun known as the "Hunting Shotgun" was available for purchase from the store in the 1.0 version of Into the Radius VR. When the 2.0 version of the game was released in December 2021, however, the Hunting Shotgun was removed from the store and replaced by the IZh-27. The side-by-side was not removed entirely, though, as it is still possible to find the Hunting Shotgun inside loot crates in certain parts of the Radius. Gameplay-wise, it is statistically indistinguishable from the IZh-27 that replaced it.
Sawed-Off
A sawed-off version of the Hunting Shotgun known simply as the "Sawed-Off Shotgun" was also once available for purchase, but it has since been replaced by the identically-performing IZh-27 Sawed-Off. It can be found in the Radius in the same areas as the full-length Hunting Shotgun.
Assault Rifles
Assault rifles are generally the most useful class of primary weapon for a mid-game Explorer. Possessing good damage characteristics, serviceable armor-piercing ability, sizeable magazines, decent accuracy, and the ability to fire in full-auto or semi-automatic, assault rifles can be extremely useful in both close and medium-range combat when equipped with a decent optic and a laser attachment. They begin to struggle at longer ranges, however, and their pricey ammunition makes full-auto much more costly compared to submachine guns. Common ammunition types include FMJ, AP, SS, and CHP (copper hollow point)/Surplus, which is directly inferior to other ammo types but by far the cheapest.
AK-74
An AK-74 can be purchased for $5000 after reaching Security Level 3. It has exceptionally average characteristics compared to other available assault rifles and feeds from a 30-round magazine. The AK-74 can be equipped with a PSO-1 scope or Kobra optical sight (via a dovetail mount on the left side of the receiver, indicating that the rifle is an AK-74N) as well as a PBS-1 silencer and underbarrel GP-30 grenade launcher. Upgrades for the AK-74 include reducing the recoil (-20%), increasing the firerate (+20%) and swapping the dovetail mount for a Picatinny rail.
"AK-74M"
A variant with synthetic furniture and an aftermarket muzzle brake, referred to as the "AK-74M", can be purchased for $6500 after reaching Security Level 3; despite its name, it lacks the actual AK-74M's folding stock hardware and has a ribbed receiver cover, meaning that it's simply a regular AK-74N with synthetic furniture. It justifies its increased price tag compared to the base AK-74 with a series of small improvements to its controllability, accuracy, durability, and stealthiness. It features the same upgrades and attachment options as the AK-74.
AKM
An AKM can be purchased for $4500 after reaching Security Level 3. The AKM's stats are very similar to the AK-74M's, but the AKM deals more damage per shot at the cost of a lower muzzle velocity and a much louder report. It can equip the same attachments and upgrades as the AK-74s.
AKS-74U
An AKS-74U can be purchased for $4000 after reaching Security Level 3. As a shortened AK-74 with a folding stock, the 74U is easier to use in close-quarters than the full-length AKs and boasts a slightly faster fire rate (650 rpm vs. 600) to boot. Compared to the other AK-series rifles, however, it has the poorest accuracy in-class and the the second-worst muzzle velocity, which severely limit its effectiveness at range. It mostly shares an attachment and upgrade pool with the other AKs, with a few differences; the AKS-74U cannot equip the GP-30 grenade launcher and it features a unique upgrade to improve its accuracy by 20%, which reduces shot dispersion and allows the 74U to reclaim some performance at range.
AS Val
An AS Val can be purchased for $8000 after reaching Security Level 4. The AS Val differs from the VSS Vintorez also unlocked at Security Level 4 with its ability to fire in full-auto and its lighter weight. It comes pre-equipped with a dovetail mount (although this can be replaced with a Picatinny rail for a price) and can be upgraded to add an additional rail on the side of the gun. Compared to the AK-series rifles, the AS Val deals significantly more damage per shot and is much quieter, which is invaluable for preventing swarms of enemies from being drawn to the player's location during combat. It loses out to the AKs when muzzle velocity and magazine size are considered, however, meaning that a player equipped with the AS Val must become comfortable with its exaggerated bullet drop and have to make single shots count.
Colt M4A1
A Colt M4A1 can be purchased for $6500 after reaching Security Level 3. One of the first Western long arms available to the player, the M4A1 performs similarly to the AK-74s in terms of damage and magazine size, although the M4 fires much faster and is slightly quieter while the AKs have higher muzzle velocities. The M4A1 is notable for having the most out-of-the-box rail attachment points of any weapon in the game, allowing it to mount optics, flashlights, and lasers without having to spend money on expensive upgrades. It can be upgraded to increase the accuracy of the weapon by 10% and to swap the automatic fire mode for a three-round burst, transforming the gun into an M4.
Steyr AUG A3
A Steyr AUG A3 can be purchased for $5000 after reaching Security Level 3. The AUG has the highest muzzle velocity in-class and an average firerate, but the weapon's stats are otherwise identical to the M4A1. Its bullpup design and unique progressive trigger system (half-pulling the trigger fires a single bullet while depressing it all the way fires fully-automatic) can be hard to get used to, but a player who has mastered the AUG can use it just as effectively as, if not more so, any other assault rifle. The AUG can be upgraded to increase its accuracy by 10% and to swap the fully-automatic firemode for a three-round burst.
OTs-14-4A Groza
An OTs-14-4A Groza can be purchased for $7500 after reaching Security Level 4. Its most defining feature is a permanently-affixed GP-30 grenade launcher, which can be used to launch caseless 40 mm VOG-25 grenades and is operated with the trigger on the forward hand; care should be taken to avoid blowing oneself up! It is otherwise similar to the other 9x39mm rifles in the sense that it has high damage per shot and very pronounced bullet drop. The Groza is tied with the AKS-74U for the worst accuracy of the assault rifles, however, and is not integrally suppressed (although a PBS-1 suppressor may be attached). As with submachine guns, the firerate of the Groza may be tweaked (+20% or -20%) through upgrades and its poor accuracy can be somewhat curbed with a +15% boost at the upgrade station. Various rail mounting points can also be added.
Rifles
Into the Radius VR features two weapons that do not fit cleanly within other rifle weapon categories.
Mosin Nagant Model 1938 Carbine
A Mosin Nagant Model 1938 Carbine can be purchased for $5500 after reaching Security Level 3. The Mosin is the first truly high-powered long-ranged rifle available to the player and has both extremely high damage per shot and good armor-piercing abilities. There are no clips in the Radius, however, meaning that the Mosin must be reloaded one bullet at a time. With a base capacity of only 5 rounds, the Mosin is a powerful rifle with heavy drawbacks, meaning that it is best suited for a player with steady hands and nerves of steel. The Mosin can equip a PU scope without any modifications, but two rails (one for optical sights and the other for lasers or flashlights) can be added at the upgrade station.
SKS-D
An SKS-D can be purchased for $3200 after reaching Security Level 2. Utilizing the same 10 and 30-round magazines as the AKM, the semi-automatic SKS is inferior to any of the game's assault rifles as a primary weapon. Its only benefits compared to the AKs are its good accuracy, low price, and low security level requirement. The SKS can be fitted with a PU scope, and its pool of available modifications includes various rail attachment points, a 30% recoil reduction, and a DTK suppressor adaptor. A bayonet was available for the rifle in the 1.0 version of Into the Radius VR, but it was removed when the game was updated to version 2.0.
Battle Rifles
A step above the intermediate-caliber assault rifles, battle rifles offer a mid/late-game Explorer a full-powered punch of damage. Hard-hitting, accurate, and possessing incredible armor penetration, battle rifles are adept at any range, but their weight, heavy recoil, and expensive ammunition can be difficult to manage. All battle rifles in Into the Radius VR are chambered in 7.62x51mm and feed from a 20-round magazine, meaning that it mostly comes down to personal preference and playstyle as to which rifle one uses.
FN FAL 50.00
An early FN FAL 50.00 with wooden furniture can be purchased for $6500 after reaching Security Level 4. The FAL has the fastest firerate of the three available battle rifles, but it also deals the least damage per shot and is the most inaccurate. The FN FAL is compatible with the so-called NATO Suppressor and can be modified to adjust the firerate (±20%), add additional rails for attachments, and increase the accuracy by 10%.
FN SCAR-H
An FN SCAR-H (known as the "FN-17" in-game) can be purchased for $12000 after reaching Security Level 5. This extremely expensive battle rifle serves as the "jack-of-all-trades" of its class, featuring middling firerate, damage, accuracy, and muzzle velocity. It is select-fire, comes with lots of attachment points, and can be suppressed. The stock can also be folded, although this is of questionable utility. It can be upgraded to reduce its recoil by 20% and its ability to fire in full-auto can be swapped for a three-round burst.
M14
An M14 can be purchased for $7500 after reaching Security Level 4. The battle rifle of choice for those who prefer single, devastating shots, the M14 deals the highest damage per shot and is the most accurate of its peers. Unlike the FN FAL and the SCAR-H, the M14 is semi-automatic only, which can limit its effectiveness in higher-pressure close-quarters situations. The M14 can be upgraded to reduce its recoil by 20% and to add rails for attachments. It cannot be suppressed.
Sniper Rifles
Sniper rifles are, to absolutely no surprise, rifles tooled for long-range combat. They feature very high damage per shot, great accuracy, and a low firerate. Sniper rifles do not come with optics beyond iron sights, so a scope must be purchased or found to put them to full effectiveness at range.
Lobaev Arms DVL-10 M1 "SABOTEUR"
A Lobaev Arms DVL-10 "SABOTEUR" in M1 configuration can be purchased for $10000 after reaching Security Level 5. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, the DVL-10 justifies its hefty price tag and steep unlock requirements by offering the highest single-shot damage of any firearm in the game. It feeds from a detachable 10-round magazine and is integrally suppressed, meaning that the rifle needs no extra attachments or costly maintenance to provide a stealthy one-hit kill at any range. The DVL-10's greatest drawback is its low rate of fire, owing to the fact that it is a bolt-action rifle. It can be upgraded to increase its reliability by 15% and to reduce its weight by 1kg.
SVD Tiger
An SVD Tiger can be purchased for $8000 after reaching Security Level 4. A civilian version of the SVD, the Tiger rifle is considered by many to be the most overpowered weapon in Into the Radius VR. It is chambered in 7.62x54mmR, fires semi-automatically, and feeds from a 10-round detachable magazine, a combination that makes the Tiger an easy-to-use "point-and-click" weapon with very high accuracy, high damage (albeit less than the DVL), and incredible armor penetration. It comes with a dovetail rail to attach a PSO-1 scope or Kobra holographic sight, but this can be swapped for a standard Picatinny rail if a Western optical sight is desired. Available upgrades include a suppressor adaptor, an additional rail, and a 30% recoil decrease for faster follow-up shots.
VSS Vintorez
A VSS Vintorez can be purchased for $7500 after reaching Security Level 4. The Vintorez has much more in common with the AS Val assault rifle than it does the other two sniper rifles, making it somewhat of an oddball. It deals the least damage per shot and has by far the worst muzzle velocity of the snipers, making it a bit of a chore to use at long range. This is balanced by the Vintorez's very high firerate (900 rpm semi-auto only), large magazine size (20 rounds, with AS Val magazine), and exceptionally quiet nature (joint best in the game). The Vintorez is compatible with Russian dovetail optics and can be upgraded to increase its reliability by 15% and to add additional Picatinny rails.
Grenade Launchers
GP-30 Grenade Launcher
A GP-30 grenade launcher (known in-game as the "GP32") can be purchased for $1500 after reaching Security Level 3. The OTs-14-4A Groza features an integrated GP-30 as well. It can be mounted underneath the barrel of the AKM, AK-74, and AK-74M or used by itself. VOG-25 40mm grenades, which can be found somewhat rarely in the Radius or purchased for $75 apiece after reaching Security Level 3, can be brought to the muzzle of the launcher to load it and the trigger on the hand holding the rifle's foregrip can be used to fire it. The GP-30 has adjustable sights that can be set to 100m graduations up to 400m, and the sights can be configured for either direct or indirect fire.
Grenades
Grenades can be found in the Radius or purchased at the store and serve as a useful utility for taking care of enemies behind cover or inside buildings. They require some practice to use, as the player must physically throw them. Fragmentation is modeled, so an Explorer must take care not to blow themselves up with a poorly-thrown grenade.
F-1
F-1 hand grenades can be purchased for $75 after reaching Security Level 3 or found rarely in the Radius. They are the more powerful type of lethal grenade, having a large blast radius and releasing lots of fragmentation. F-1 grenades, however, are quite heavy and their potential for self-damage is high.
RDG-2
RDG-2 smoke grenades can be purchased for $25 after reaching Security Level 2. Cheap and simple, these smoke grenades emit a large cloud of white smoke that can be used to break line of sight with enemies, allowing the player to advance to cover or make a hasty retreat. They can be found commonly across the Radius as low-tier loot.
RGD-5
RGD-5 hand grenades can be purchased for $50 after reaching Security Level 2. They have a smaller blast radius and release less fragmentation than F-1 grenades, but this can be beneficial as it greatly reduces potential self-damage. RGD-5 grenades can be found uncommonly across the Radius.
