M77 Assault Rifle

The M77 Assault Rifle is a full-auto, hitscan assault rifle chambered in Light Rounds and designed for runners who want reliable mid-range firepower with above-average accuracy. Its standout feature is a built-in scope that gives it a precision advantage over most other assault rifles in Marathon, supporting engagements out to 46 meters with a 59.3% accuracy rating. Firepower sits at a solid 24 damage per shot, and the 450 RPM rate of fire keeps the pace controlled enough that recoil stays manageable. The 24-round magazine provides a comfortable buffer for multi-enemy encounters without demanding constant reloads.

Against unshielded targets the M77 achieves a time-to-kill of around 1.2 seconds, placing it in the middle of the assault rifle bracket. Where it distinguishes itself is in the precision multiplier of 1.5x, which rewards headshots and makes accurate players punch well above the weapon's base damage numbers. The relatively low recoil score of 95 and a reload time of 2.6 seconds keep it responsive in extended firefights. Compatible mods include the Sturdy Brace Grip for improved stability and the Interval Mag for ammo efficiency. The M77 Assault Rifle was introduced in Season 0 Alpha and remains a consistent choice for runners who want a balanced, dependable rifle that holds its own from close range out to medium engagement distances.
