The Steyr AUG HBAR (Armee-Universal-Gewehr Heavy Barrel Automatic Rifle) is an LMG in The Reconciliation.
Design[]
The AUG HBAR looks similar to the regular AUG, with several differences:
- The barrel is longer and a bipod is attached on it by default.
- It has an alternate trigger unit for open bolt firing.
Overview[]
The basic stats are similar, although the range is better and the recoil is lower due to the heavier and longer barrel. They even share the exact same attachments. Its bipod is detachable, although this is not recommended as it decreases the accuracy while in prone position. It's worth noting that despite being categorized as a light machine gun, it still uses the same magazine as the regular AUG.
Attachment tips[]
Due to its lower recoil, the rapid fire mod is highly recommended as it increases the rate of fire to 780 rpm. By default is uses the exact same magazine as AUG, which only holds 30 rounds per mag. Using the Beta C-Mag addesses this problem as it increases the capacity to 100 rounds per mag, making it a "real" LMG.

Mods[]
- Short barrel: Replaces the barrel to the one similar to the regular AUG's. Decreases range and increases recoil.
- Shorter barrel: Replaces the barrel to the one similar to the AUG Para's. Decreases range and increases recoil even further.
- Rapid fire: Increases rate of fire to 780 rpm.
- AUG HBAR to AUG conversion: This converts the gun to make it look similar to the AUG. The bipod has to be removed manually if you wish to not use it.
- AUG HBAR to AUG Para conversion: This converts the gun to make it look similar to the AUG Para, but retaining the same 5.56mm/.223 caliber. Its range is decreased due to the usage of short barrel.
Trivia[]
- It's one of the two LMGs that use a regular 30-round magazine by default, the other being the L86A2 LSW.
