Copperhead RF

The Copperhead RF is a light submachine gun engineered for an extreme rate of fire, chambered in Light Rounds and designed to overwhelm targets at close range through sheer volume of fire. At 720 RPM full-auto, it matches the Overrun AR's fire rate in a compact SMG package, with 12 damage per shot producing a DPS of 144. The 21-round magazine is modest, but a fast 2.37-second reload keeps downtime short. Effective range caps at 20 meters and accuracy sits at 49.1%, reflecting a weapon purpose-built for hallways, cramped objective zones, and any environment where targets are within arm's reach. The 1.1x zoom is minimal and appropriate for the weapon's role.

With a handling score of 46 and weight of 27.5%, the Copperhead RF is one of the more nimble weapons available, allowing runners to stay mobile while spraying. The 1.4x precision multiplier rewards headshots, though the high hipfire spread of 2.36 degrees means aiming down sights is important for anything beyond point-blank distance. Recoil at 90 is moderate and manageable with short bursts. Light Round ammo is the most commonly found ammunition type in Marathon, keeping the Copperhead consistently loaded during raids. Compatible mod slots cover optic, chip, magazine, and barrel, with the Far Reach Optic noted as a supported option for pushing its range. The Copperhead RF is an excellent choice for aggressive runners who want a fast, lightweight SMG that pairs well with any heavy-round secondary to cover the full engagement spectrum.
