Despite recent advances in weapons technology, the older G2A4 semi-automatic rifle remains a favorite of special forces units due to its high damage and extremely precise fire—a testament to its high level of craftsmanship.
Pro Tip: Walshy

Field Notes
The G2A4 Rifle is the old school weapon in the mix of weapons. It is the only semi-automatic weapon in the game and does high damage but has a low magazine capacity. With its high accuracy, this weapon is great for long-range battles.
Against Pilots this weapon is most used for longer-range battles, so keep your distance and pick off Pilots in the distance. With its semi-automatic functionality you’ll have to be extremely accurate with your aim. At close range, prepare to tap your trigger as fast as you can.
The smaller magazine makes this weapon less effective against minions. You don’t want to get ambushed by a Pilot when you’re taking out minions since you’ll most likely run out of ammo and have to reload. If you’re going to kill Grunts or Spectres, keep your distance and watch out for incoming Pilots.
The Match Trigger mod is an excellent way to increase your rate of fire, but it also allows you to fire rapidly in a close-quarter battle. Attaching the Suppressor is also the best way to keep your position hidden on the minimap when firing.
