Cyclone Assault Rifle Guide
The Cyclone’s rapid rate of fire requires a short warm up before use. The rifle’s mediocre accuracy is balanced by a massive capacity. As its manufacturer states, “With so many rounds to spare, what does it matter if a few don’t land?” The Cyclone was removed from production years prior to the Andromeda Initiative’s departure due to intense maintenance requirements, but some soldiers still swear by it.

Strategies
The cyclone is a fast-firing weapon. Given that, it needs as much clip size it can get. This means that skills like turbocharge and assault rifle passive skills are effective.
Upgrades that enlarge a weapon’s clip size is also very crucial. Use the assault rifle skill’s spare ammo and clip size upgrades to maximize the revenant’s clip capabilities.
Turbocharge also helps when using this weapon. Aside from the general improvement of damage, rate of fire, and clip size a fully upgraded turbocharge skill could give you almost 100% more clip size for your weapon. With a machine gun like the cyclone, you will do more damage with more ammunition.
The rapid firing nature of this weapon means that it is a suitable candidate for soldier builds.
