Take a standard, high-grade submachine gun, bolt a semi-sentient AI Core to the side of it, and rig it up with several sophisticated tracking packages. Arm that resulting abomination with prototype rounds that interface directly with the onboard systems, and you have the aptly named LOK-1 Smart Rifle - a glorious bit of kit any Engineer worth their salt would be happy carrying.

— Item Description

The LOK-1 Smart Rifle is an unlockable primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a heavily augmented submachine gun with multiple electronic attachments and wiring surrounding the weapon. In the front, a small mechanical "eye" rests on top of the barrel with a foregrip attached below. A hinged metal arm supports a loaded magazine that contains a munitions window and a pull tab.

The Smart Rifle is one of the few weapons that has an alternative firing mode, although it is a lot more unique. Tapping the fire button will cause a single shot to be fired normally. Holding down the fire button however, will cause a targeting interface to appear and begin placing incremental indicators onto enemies within range, along with visible tracers that lead from the gun barrel to the enemy. Upon releasing the fire button, the weapon fires at all enemies that were locked on with the amount of bullets corresponding with the number displayed on each indicator. When a locked on enemy is killed, any excess locks will not cause additional bullets to be fired.

When using this alternative firing mode, bullets follow the path of the tracer which means that firing at weakpoints will require you to position the tracer appropriately. This also means that anything blocking the tracer will be impacted instead, which can include terrain, teammates, or other enemies.

Stats Breakdown

Understanding the Weapon

The LOK-1 will sequentially target all enemies in its scanning range, prioritizing enemies closest to the center of the 'crosshair', and will not target passive or friendly creatures. If the SmЯt upgrade is not taken, it will paint as many locks as possible per target until reaching the maximum lock capacity. Note however that the LOK-1 will only ever use the number of bullets needed to actually kill an enemy, essentially meaning that no ammo is wasted on "overkilling". Lock-on shots may not reach their target if something else blocks their path such as other enemies, players, or terrain (without the Seeker Rounds overclock).

Holding the trigger will initiate 'scanning' mode to target enemies and acquire locks, this is visually represented on screen by a loading bar with the text "SCANNING". While scanning a lock will engage every 0.095 seconds.

The LOK-1 will display a trajectory highlighting the bullet pathfinding for each locked enemy. This orange glowing line can be manipulated by continuing to hold down the lock button and changing the player's perspective. This allows targeting specific areas on enemies. The maximum angle the view can be turned before locks disengage is governed by the "Lose Lock Threshold" statistic.

After releasing the trigger the weapon begins firing to each locked target. There is a 0.06 second delay between each shot, putting the weapons rate of fire at 16.67 during the burst.

Unique Modifications

Unique Modifications
Icon Upgrade BulletPenetration.png
Super Blowthrough Rounds
Super Blowthrough Rounds will not penetrate any targets en route to the locked target. Once they have hit the locked target, they will continue their trajectory in a straight line and penetrate like normal blowthrough rounds.
Icon Upgrade Light.png
SMЯT Targeting Software™
SMЯT Targeting Software™ prevents 'overlocking' of enemies. By default, the LOK-1 will put as many locks as possible on targeted enemies, but will only use the necessary amount of bullets needed to kill them. The SmЯt thus acts a quality of life assurance so all bullets are equally dispersed between locked targets, saving time to scan and refire should the player opt to use it.
Icon Upgrade ScareEnemies.png
Fear Frequency
Fear Frequency will only apply the fear effect after the burst has finished firing and the Fear radius is centered on the player. The mod's effectiveness scales from bullets fired and not locks engaged.
  • Effect Radius: 2.4m + 0.15m per bullet fired
  • Fear Factor: 15% + 15% per bullet fired

Unique Overclocks

Frame Overclock Balanced.png
Icon Upgrade Explosion.png

Explosive Chemical Rounds

Explosive Chemical Rounds is a Balanced Overclock that causes targets with 3 or more Locks on them to trigger an explosion on the last shot locked onto the enemy (or the locked-on shot that kills the enemy), dealing 50 Area Damage and 50% Base Fear Chance in a 4m radius around them (2m Max Damage Radius, 50% Falloff).

The explosion is a property of the projectile, rather than the target, and will explode when hitting any other solid object en route to the target.

Frame Overclock Balanced.png
Icon Upgrade Aim.png

Seeker Rounds

Seeker Rounds is a Balanced Overclock that causes locked shots to always hit their targets, ignoring armor, terrain, and any other creatures en route to the target. The interval between shots in a burst is multiplied by 1.9 which reduces the Burst Fire Rate from 16.67 (1/0.06) to 8.77 (1/0.114), which is approx. -47% Burst Fire Rate.
Seeker Rounds' bonus to Lose Lock Threshold stacks multiplicatively with CCD Array Add-On, for a total of 200% Lose Lock Threshold if both are equipped.

Frame Overclock Unstable.png
Icon Upgrade Sticky.png

Neuro-Lasso

Neuro-Lasso is an Unstable Overclock that applies a Status Effect, which causes each Lock on an enemy to slow it down by 10% (x0.9). Instances of this Status Effect stack together multiplicatively, but there's a maximum of 10 instances of this Status Effect per creature, which results in a 65% max slowdown for one creature. LOK-1 applies that effect only at 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th locks per creature which is exactly 10 instances at most which meets the aforementioned limit. Thus, it encourages putting locks on different targets, since this way you get more instances out of it overall.
