**Base model was made by Skookum Props and used & edited with permission. https://linktr.ee/skookumprops ** --- **The VK78 is based off the Eagle Heavy Rifle/SCAR-H and will be unlocked at Level 35. As the usual with all of my Halo mods, thank Offyerrocker for the ammo counter, ammo counter texture, and scope lens texture!** **Stats: The stats given are based off an approximation of how the VK78 roughly performed in the Infinite Technical Flight and what we see in trailers.** **The VK78 uses a high damage, slow fire rate model, with an emphasis on the slow fire rate. It is a battle rifle, not a spray and pray weapon like the ~~Insult to Rifles~~ MA5 Rifle series, so aim carefully, and you will be rewarded.** Specific Stat Notes: ||The defining characteristic of the VK78 is its relatively slow rate of fire at just 450 RPM (at least, according to what we gleaned from the various Infinite trailers. This makes recoil/stability somewhat of a moot point, but also means that you must make your shots count in any DPS race (see: Bulldozers). To compensate for its low fire rate, the VK78 has fairly good base damage at 110, giving it a slight edge above the other high damage battle rifle likes the SCAR-H. With some weapon mods and the occasional skill, you can easily hit the 125 damage breakpoint to one hit the non-tan FBI mooks on the highest difficulties. The base accuracy is somewhat subpar at 64, not unusable but noticeably lower than most other battle rifles. The concealment is just ... okay at 13. It slightly beats a SCAR-H with vanilla attachments, but neither weapons are going to work too well in dodge setups. The VK78 has a subpar ammo capacity: a 20 round magazine capacity with 60 reserve ammo/80 total ammo (4 magazine's worth), mimicking what we see in Infinite Trailers. However, the 2-6 ammo box pickup should be more than enough to sustain yourself on a weapon that regularly gets 2-3 shot kills on most enemies, provided you don't miss.|| **Known Issues:** **When reloading the VK78, the reload isn't quite right (magazine doesn't quite go into the magwell right, hand will pull the charging handle very far back, and hand clips through the ammo counter). This is a problem with the VK78 not being a perfect approximation for the vanilla SCAR-H/Eagle Heavy rifle animation.** **The VK78 Charging Handle doesn't reciprocate all the time on full auto. Not sure what causes the problem.** **Probable Future Asked Questions:** **Q: How do I install?** **A: Extract the ZIP file into mod_overrides. If you need more reassurance, the Instructions page also tells you to do the same thing.** **Q: Skinmaps? Custom animations?** **A: If I ever develop the skillset.** **Q: MA5 Series when?** **A: When Glitch's MA40 stops making me depressed with its UVs randomly flipping when ported into Payday 2.** **Q:(Insert Covenant Weapon here) when?** **A:** **~~Hi Zhanna, you should know my answer by now.~~** **If you aren't Zhanna, then you'd realize I *would* be making Dual Plasma Rifles/Dual Plasma Rifles/Brute Plasma Rifles/Fuel Rod Cannon/Covenant Carbine. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do Zdann's projectile magic, so Covenant weapons will have to remain dreams ...** **(Insert any other Halo weapon here) when?** **A: Depending on the weapon, I might be stopped by legal reasons (Oathsworn/M45D, Nornfang/ M739 SAW, M6H, etc) or lack of motivation (MA40.)**
