User blog:Willbachbakal/Multiplayer Weapons: Rivet Gun

The Rivet Gun is equivalent to the original multiplayer's Pistol: accurate, moderate damage, large clip and a short reload time. It's the most versatile gun in the game, good at close to mid-range combat as well as sniping, and works well as a backup weapon. However, there's always a gun that'll do better than the Pistol at any range. It's unlocked right from the start, so you can try finding out your fighting style with it. Its alternate ammo gives it even more uses, making it a handy jack-of-all trades.

 * Machine Buster Rivets: Deal double damage against machines (50), but only 18.3 (two-thirds of 25) damage versus live enemies. Unlocked at Rank 28.
 * Trap Rivets: Deal 18.3 damage upon direct impact, but if fired at the scenery, a physics object or a friendly Security Bot, it will deploy (this takes about half a second) and fire a Rivet dealing 33.3 (133% of 25) damage if an enemy winds up in its line of fire. Can be recovered when deployed but not after having been set off. Unlocked at Rank 55.
