Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The Kiparis is a balanced SMG that gamer.org's July 2026 list places in B-tier, saying other options are more versatile. It is a reasonable pick if you have it unlocked, but it does not unseat the MPL or Spectre. Extended Mag addresses its small magazine. This applies to the original 2010 game as hXc Hector documents it.
Best Kiparis loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. Only hXc Hector lists its attachments (page timestamp 14 July 2022); Video Games Blogger's 18 November 2010 guide lists it as Classified and confirms the SMG list as a class.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Extended Mag | 30 rounds per magazine instead of 20, with no extra total ammo |
Why this build works
hXc estimates 20-30 damage per bullet at 937.5 RPM, with 20 rounds per magazine. Its 1.6-2.4 second reload is the quickest top end he lists for an SMG, so you are not punished much for reloading, and 10 more rounds per magazine means you do so less. It has no Reflex Sight on his list, though it does take ACOG and Red Dot.
How to play it
Close-quarters work is the role hXc gives the class, and his 18.75-25 meter range matches most of the other SMGs. Avoid the Suppressor if you want to keep that distance, since it falls to 8.75-17.5 meters.
Unlock notes
Priced at C2000, plus C1000 for the Extended Mag. hXc's weapon entry says it unlocks after buying all other SMGs, while his introduction says buying two weapons from a class unlocks the secret weapon. Video Games Blogger only marks it Classified, so confirm in the game's menu.
