The GD-7F is a carbine available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Genudine Dynamics - 7F is an incredibly potent close-quarters weapon. Alongside its brother, the Icon VS Serpent VE92, the GD-7F has amongst the highest damage-per-second of any infantry weapon, barring those that can kill in one shot. Though tempered by a wild recoil pattern, harsh damage fall-off, and a lengthy reload time, the GD-7F's raw damage output nonetheless makes it one of the most lethal and potent weapons on Auraxis.

Compared to the scarily similar Serpent VE92, the GD-7F takes even longer to reload, but may be potent out to longer ranges thanks to a slightly more favourable recoil pattern and a notably higher muzzle velocity. Though not as directly analogous, the Icon TR LC2 Lynx is another useful comparison as a carbine with a similarly rapid time-to-kill, though demanding more in the way of headshots to achieve it.
