The RPK-74M is a light machine gun featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.
Background[]
A further development of the RPK based on the AK-74, this lightweight LMG features reinforcements to the original design, including a longer heavier barrel that minimizes accuracy loss during sustained fire. It can use standard AK-74 magazines or extended box/drum magazines.
Widely used by many post-Soviet nations.

Tactics[]
With characteristics like a higher leveled M-27, the RPK-74M, when compared to the M240, trades in some raw damage for accuracy and range. Its reload speed is quicker than other LMGs, thus making it an effective weapon against zombies and raiders alike. However, the RPK-74M shares the high ammo consumption common among LMGs.
Recommended gear[]

Trivia[]
