Multiplayer

The M8A1 is the eighth assault rifle you unlock, namely at level 49. It fires volleys of four bullets and the recoil is relatively low. These volleys make it dangerous at any distance, but it works best at a medium range. The M8A1 can kill at close range with three bullets, but from further distances, it can take up to 5 hits before the enemy goes down.

Rear and front sights are quite clear and can be easily used by experienced players, but if you want to tickle the ultimate range out of the weapon, you can use an optical sight like the reflex sight or the rangefinder.

The fire mode allows you to easily turn the M8A1 into a fully automatic assault rifle. Thanks to its high rate of fire and good damage, it is quite deadly at close range, while at further distances you can switch back to volley mode for more precision.

Survival combat

The M8A1 is available in every map for 950 points at the mystery box. Just like in multiplayer, it retains its 4-shot salvos. Double-fire maltbier can be purchased because the salvos are quite weak after all, and it can be difficult to kill a zombie quickly. In the right hands, you can make a decent pile of points with it and you can dispatch whole hordes with it. Punched, you get an automatic aim point to the head and still fire volleys of four shots, but they kill zombies instantly with ease until round 24, even without double-fire malt beer. Thanks to all the ammo, it’s one of the better for punching. What’s also important is that hip-fire accuracy is increased quite a bit, which naturally increases effectiveness in close combat. For 2000 points, you can the M8A1 several times, which gives you various attachments. Among them are the reflex sight, the rangefinder, the millimeter scanner, the grenade launcher and the EOTech sight.
