The LC2 Lynx is a Terran Republic carbine, effective at close quarters due to its overclocked fire-rate that allow it to shred through infantry at CQC supported by its average reloads. Allowing it to escape quickly out of a tough situation. It isn't effective at longer ranges, accumulating this trait by its quick damage drop off comparable to that of an SMG. It suffers from a slow bullet velocity as well as high recoil and bad ads accuracy.

LC2 Lynx or LC3 Jaguar

Both the LC2 Lynx andLC3 Jaguar are great CQC options, but have their differences.  The LC2 Lynx has a better fire rate (159 RPM more) and slightly higher bullet velocity (10 m/s more).  It also has the firing mode of semi-automatic, while the LC3 Jaguar only has automatic. It also had a shorter long reload (reloading with no bullets in the magazine. However, the LC3 Jaguar costs much less (750 less certs or 200 less Station Cash. The LC3 Jaguar also has a faster short reload speed (reloading with at least one bullet in the magazine), better hipfire accuracy, and better minimum damage.
