Description
The RPK-16 is the only light machine gun featured in Arena Breakout: Infinite. Despite being classified as a machine gun, it feels more like a heavy rifle with an extended magazine. It uses 5.45×39 mm rounds, boasts good accuracy, high rate of fire, and a spacious drum magazine.
In practice, the RPK-16 is not popular among players. The reason is simple — despite its high cost, it doesn't offer significant advantages over meta rifles. The large magazine is useful in prolonged firefights, but in most situations, its advantages do not outweigh the drawbacks of weight and cost.
