The SW7-PBA Assault Rifle is a weapon in Just Cause 4.

Appearance

This weapon is an odd looking rifle that does not seem to resemble anything in real life. The entire weapon is unusually bulky, especially the front. However, there are a few notable design elements that may have been taken from real life weapons.

Performance

This weapon is the only burst fire assault rifle in the game, unless you count the 21-J Smart-Rifle's secondary fire.

Damage is higher than most assault rifles, and the burst fire allows for fairly accurate shots at medium-long range. This weapon is not entirely the most versatile weapon, however; the lack of full-auto makes it struggle in close quarters, while the always burst mode with no single fire ability makes it difficult to land consecutive hits on faraway targets. Plus, ammunition for this weapon rarely spawns naturally in the game. Then again, the maximum ammunition for this weapon is 495, and the burst fire means you will not be wasting ammunition most of the time, so finding ammo is not a necessity in most situations.

Recoil is low, as with all other small-arms in the game, but still higher than most. As a burst weapon, bullet spread and deviation is so low that it is not apparent unless used across long distances.

Secondary Fire launches a drone from the gun that assists Rico (and any Army of Chaos members if nearby).

Locations

• It can only be found in weapon crates in military bases in Solís as well as some outposts.
• Otherwise, it can be dropped from supply drop upon securing the Gran Batalla region.

Trivia

• This weapon is the successor to the CS27 Misfortune from Just Cause 3 (though this looks nothing like the aforementioned).
• Another weapon which fires a drone as secondary fire is the RG-PBA 9 Railgun.
• This weapon has an unusually high ammunition cap compared to other weapons in the game, equivalent to almost 24 full magazines. Ordering the SW7-PBA via supply drop also only provides one magazine's worth of ammunition per drop, making stocking up to full capacity a tedious affair.
