AR2

The AR2 is an assault rifle players can loot in the Olympia Laboratory.

Overview The Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle (OSIPR), also known as Pulse Rifle or AR2, is a Dark Energy /pulse-powered assault rifle manufactured by the Combine. Overall, the weapon has an average fire rate, similar to that of the AKM. The damage shows that it's able to 2-3 tap most enemies (those having 100 health on average) and capable of killing low health enemies with a single headshot. The AR2 is a nearly direct lookalike to the original model. The weapon uses dark energy for its ammunition, powered by the fabled Car Battery ammo. Strategies If you want to run this weapon, you might want to look for an area that has a large amount of car batteries. Places such as Town, Winrock, Olympia Laboratory, and the Oil Rig are good bets for car batteries spawns.

Since the AR2 has a relatively rare ammo type and coupled with the fact it burns through ammo quickly, its best to use this weapon in dire situations or you've expended all of your other weapons, when used at a distance it's advised to fire in single shots or short burst if one wishes to conserve ammo.

 * No, you can't shoot energy balls with it.


 * Compared to the actual AR2 in Half-life 2, AniPhobia's take is much more accurate to the point that one can reliably fire it in full auto without the bullets spreading where as in Half-Life 2, the AR2 is notorious for it's spread.
