Multiplayer
The KN-57 is available at Level 10, or from Level 1 as part of the default classes. For the most part, it handles similarly to its counterpart, the KN-44, and fulfills the same role within multiplayer as a middle-of-the-road assault rifle with no particular standout strengths or weaknesses. At point-blank range, the weapon takes around four shots to kill, but quickly drops off to five. This results in an average time-to-kill for the assault rifles and allows the weapon to be effective in close-quarters engagements. The weapon has a rate of fire around 555 RPM, which is around average for the assault rifle category and pushes its effective engagement range out to close-medium range. Recoil manifests as a constant pull upwards and is easily manageable, but may hinder accuracy at longer ranges.

Handling is somewhat average for the assault rifle category. The KN-57's reload time is around average for the assault rifle category, and the weapon does not suffer from any glaring deficiencies on part of handling. As with most weapons, the Quickdraw and Grip are never bad choices, and serve to increase the KN-57's reliability at close and medium ranges, respectively.

In conclusion, the KN-57 is a jack-of-all-trades rifle that can be used well in most engagement scenarios, and is easily accessible for newer players and veterans alike.
