The LC2 Lynx is a carbine available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Light Carbine 2 Lynx is a unique weapon among the carbine line-up, featuring amongst the fastest rate-of-fire of any weapon in the game at a blistering 909 RPM. The weapon is chambered for a less powerful round to achieve this feat, clocking in at only 125 damage per shot within the maximum damage range.

Unlike most close-quarters weaponry, the Lynx's recoil is relatively manageable, and the reload speed is moderately fast. However, the Lynx's low damage range causes the weapon's time-to-kill to increase drastically outside of the maximum damage range, though inside that range the weapon's headshot bullets-to-kill equals that of 143 damage weapons against standard 1000 health targets.
