The '''Storm''' is a [[:Category:Primary|Primary]] weapon introduced in the 15.9.0 update. It is part of the Super Soldier Event Set.

== Description ==
It is a special forces themed assault rifle that regularly shoots bullets and includes a 4x scope. It has very high damage, a decent fire rate, a small capacity, and decent mobility.

==Appearance==
This gun features a blue, red, gold, and gray colored palette.

It is a bullpup assault rifle with a blue accent. It features a 25 round magazine, an under barrel grenade launcher, and a 4x scope.

== Performance ==
The player holds this weapon with both of their hands, mainly by grabbing its handle. The player automatically shoots regular bullets with a small splash radius. Moreover, this weapon possesses a 4x scope for long-range battles.

When reloading, the player takes out the magazine from the bottom of the weapon and puts another one in the same place.

It has a fixed delay which means it will have a small pullout delay no matter what.

==Strategy==

===Tips===

*Take advantage of its explosive rounds.
*Despite having [[:Category:Area Damage|Area Damage]], it is possible to aim for the head.
*Aim very well, since it does not have much ammo on use.
*Use the 4x scope for ease in long range encounters on enemies.
*Considering its low ammo count, you have to find for ammo pickups so as to continuously use this weapon.
*Its explosive rounds do not have a large explosion radius, so you have to try aiming for enemies directly instead.
*Pair this with a high damaging [[Backup]] weapon, like the [[Exterminator]] or [[Shotgun Pistol]].
*Make sure to reload frequently.
===Counters===
*Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
*Any one shot weapons will do the trick.
*Jump around to avoid its shots, but be wary of its explosive rounds, albeit small.
*Hide behind a thick wall as the area damage isn't the best, but make sure that you are not too near its explosion.

==Trivia==
*This weapon is from the Super Soldier Event set along with the [[Overseer]] and [[Instigator]].
*It is based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTs-14_Groza OTs-14 Groza] with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP-25%7C GP-30 underbarrel grenade launcher].
*Interestingly, Groza is Russian for "Storm".
*This is the first Primary weapon-based from the real-world weapons that fire explosive rounds upon firing.
*Like most Primaries with a grenade launcher, the said attachment is just for cosmetic purposes.
*It is 6-7 shots, but only if you directly hit the enemy. Otherwise, it's 8-9 shots.
*One of its skins, Asimov, is based of a ''Counter Strike'' weapon skin, spelt "Asimov".
