Weapon choice depends on price, ammunition, unlocks and engagement distance.
01 Check availability first
Current community price records list the AK74 at $1,600 and M4 at $2,800. Unlock requirements may differ, so verify your current progression before planning around either weapon.
02 Compare complete kits
Ammo, optics, armor and medical gear affect the total. Put each weapon into the same supporting kit and compare the final cost and number of repeat deployments.
03 Separate estimates from tests
Damage, recoil and time to kill need a stated test setup. Without matching range, armor and ammunition conditions, avoid an absolute best-weapon claim.
Put it into practice
Check equipment in the database, then calculate the full kit in the planner. Revisit official announcements when the build changes.

Gameplay is grounded in the official Steam page; prices use public community records as leads. This is an independently written player guide, not an official manual.
