Trivia
- This gun was added in Update 1.4.1. Before, Varkolyn Leader didn't have its boss weapon.
- Since Update 1.6.5, the sniper mode deals 14 damage instead of 12. It is unknown when this change was applied.
- Since Update 1.8.2, Sniper mode does 15 damage and applies the Poison debuff on critical hits.
- Since Update 1.10.0, the critical chance of the AR mode changed from -10 to 25.
- Before Update 2.2.0, switching between 2 modes could only be done by double-tapping the fire button.
- There was a problem that tapping the attack button too often might accidentally change the firing mode. It will also switch back to primary mode when this weapon is unequipped.
- In the Chinese version, the weapon's name was "Varkolyn SMG" or "瓦克恩冲锋枪", likely due to its slightly-below-average accuracy when in assault rifle mode, its fast rate of fire and low damage per shot.
- The fact is, the concept of "assault rifle" arrived late in China, so that many ARs are called SMGs or "冲锋枪", like the Type 56 SMG (a copy of the AK-47).
- The actual sprite of the obtainable weapon has a silver line under it. That's the barrel for the sniper rifle, which spins and attaches to the gun when switched to sniper mode, but goes back when it is back to AR mode.
- The weapon always resets to Primary mode when going through a portal, but not when switching weapons.
