The SABR-13 is an assault rifle available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Special Assault Burst Rifle - 13 is a unique assault rifle to the Terran Republic arsenal, dealing higher damage-per-shot with a lower fire rate than any other Terran rifle, using a two-round burst mode with heavily reduced recoil and extremely tight minimum aimed cones-of-fire to greatly increase the weapon's potency at range. The SABR-13 is most comparable to the Icon NC Gauss Rifle Burst, as a result.

There is no enforced delay between bursts on the SABR-13. If the user perfectly times their trigger pulls, the SABR-13's maximum fire rate is indeed 600 RPM.

Like most dedicated burst weaponry, the SABR-13 enjoys reduced recoil on the first shot of each burst, where most automatics suffer increase recoil on that same first shot. Changing fire modes (B by default) to semi-automatic will not affect the net vertical recoil of the gun, with each single shot causing the same recoil as the first shot in the two-round burst does.
