AR-22C Patriot

A carbine version of the AR-19 Liberator, it has a slightly extended magazine and much higher fire rate. Seldom used since the ammunition expenditure is higher than any other Helldiver weapon.

Helldivers start with 6 magazines of Patriot ammunition, and can carry up to 12. Each magazine contains 35 rounds (or 75 with the Extended Magazine upgrade, a significant improvement). If 3 or less rounds remain in the magazine when the weapon is fired, the 'low ammunition' warning sound will play.

Reload time for a fully emptied magazine is 2.5 seconds; if reloaded while there are still rounds in the magazine, this drops to 1.25 seconds. In addition, this keeps a round in the chamber. This means a Patriot with the Extended Magazine upgrade and a chambered round gives a total of 76 shots before needing to be reloaded.

Unlock Requirement
