Our next Active Matter update expands the arsenal and introduces six new firearms designed to help you tackle ever-more dangerous and brand-new monsters and anomalies previously unseen across the multiverse. From close-quarters shotguns to anti-tank launchers, these weapons offer fresh tactical options and firepower for every engagement.
Origin-12
The Origin-12 marks our first magazine-fed shotgun, replacing tedious single-shell reloads with several different magazines you can swap in seconds. In the thick of combat, those lightning-quick reloads combined with a blistering rate of fire make the Origin-12 indispensable at close range. A standard Picatinny rail lets you mount your favorite red-dot or holographic sight, so you’ll never lose precious milliseconds lining up your next shot.
AEK-971
The AEK-971 is a 5.45×39 mm assault rifle that boasts a 900 RPM cyclic rate and naturally lower recoil than the AK-12. You can switch between full auto, semi-auto and a three-round burst mode, giving you precise control over your fire discipline. While it only offers an optics rail - so no stocks, suppressors, or tactical flashlights - its stability and sheer rate of fire make it an ideal choice when you need to lay down sustained, accurate suppressive fire.
AN-94 Abakan
For peak pinpoint accuracy, the AN-94 Abakan is another 5.45×39 mm contender that stands out thanks to its unique two-round hyper-burst. The rifle’s internal mechanism fires the first two shots of each trigger pull at an increased rate with drastically reduced felt recoil, often sending both rounds into a virtually identical point of impact. Like the AEK-971, the Abakan supports sights only, so equip your preferred optic and let the rifle’s uncanny consistency speak for itself.
SVDM
Long-range specialists will appreciate the SVDM, an upgraded and modernized Dragunov marksman rifle featuring increased accuracy and reduced recoil for a smoother action. You’ll enjoy tighter groupings and faster follow-up shots, especially when deploying its built-in folding bipod. A full-length Picatinny rail accommodates everything from close-quarters reflex sights and red-dots to high-end thermal scopes, perfect for stalking targets through darkness or smoke.
M249 Para
When sustained suppressive fire is your goal, grab the M249 light machine gun. Chambered in 5.56×45 mm and fed by a 200-round ammo box, it unleashes nearly 850 RPM of controlled devastation - particularly when braced on its bipod. Whether you’re holding back hordes of aberrations or pinning down rival operatives, the M249 delivers relentless, accurate bursts without sacrificing stability.
RPG-7
Finally, the RPG-7 portable anti-tank rocket launcher delivers explosive power that can obliterate armored threats or scatter enemy operatives in a single shot. Precision is critical: too large of a firing distance and the warhead can fall short; too little, and you risk severe splash damage. Master your range calculations, and you’ll wield one of the multiverse’s most fearsome weapons.
Very soon you’ll be able to field all of these new weapons. Experiment with each one to discover which best fits your playstyle to support your path to harmonize the multiverse - and get ready to face Active Matter’s next wave of threats head-on.
