DescriptionEdit

Fully automatic carbine assault rifle.

BackgroundEdit

See overview page.

How to obtainEdit

• A Spec Ops variant can be obtained by completing the "Explosive Components" quest as a reward from Jack. (Docks)

TacticsEdit

Other than its lighter weight and unique appearance, not much distinguishes the XM8 from the game's other 5.56 mm assault rifles. Players may thus find the rifle's scarcity unwarranted, though it is still worth keeping should one be found. This weapon's largest advantage over other assault rifles is probably its balanced characteristics.

ProsEdit

• Good Damage
• Accurate
• Reloads Quickly
• Fully-Automatic
• Light Weight (lightest of all assault rifles)

ConsEdit

• Very Rare

TriviaEdit

• Two HERC troopers on Union Island are armed with the Normal variant.
• The one rewarded to the player upon completion of the Explosive Components quest was said to be taken from a HERC trooper by Jack.
  • Jack also claims the XM8 is not as reliable as his personal AK47; in reality, the XM8 has been demonstrated to suffer very few failures in reliability tests. However, Jack may have been referring to that particular XM8, or is simply biased towards his own weapon of choice.
