PDW-57

"Fully automatic personal defense weapon. Increased range and largest ammo capacity in its class."

- Create-A-Class Description.

The PDW-57 is a Submachine Gun that has a 50 round magazine and is fully automatic. It is unlocked at Level 4, as soon as the player unlocks Create-a-Class. The time to kill is one of the lowest in its class as it only takes 3 bullets to kill at close range (excluding headshot multipliers) and is tied with the MSMC in this regard, though handling characteristics are in favor of the MSMC with lower recoil and a faster reload time (-0.2sec from the PDW-57). Given that it has the lowest recoil (bar the MSMC), the highest magazine capacity, high damage and an early unlock, it is a highly effective weapon in multiplayer which is reflected in its popularity amongst players. It has a lower fire rate than most of the other SMGs' in exchange for generally higher damage and accuracy.

''Note that with the 1.04 patch, the recoil of the PDW-57 has slightly increased. This also counts towards the MSMC.''

The PDW-57 appears as a wall weapon in Die Rise; the gun costs 1000 points to purchase. The PDW-57 has reduced a ammo capacity from 50+350 rounds to 50+200 rounds.

Although it has amazing killing power, and a large magazine, it's best to switch this weapon out for a box weapon or AN-94, for it runs out of ammo quickly. At the very least, keep it as a utility weapon for racking up points.

When Pack-a-Punched, the PDW-57 becomes The Predictive Death Wish 57000 with 50+350 rounds and no attachments until upgraded again for 2000 more points. The attachments are random when Pack-a-Punched and can appear in no chronological order.

Trivia

 * This weapon uses the same reload sound as the Commando.
 * While reloading, it is possible to see on the side of the gun: "CAL 5.7x28MM". This is very similar to the writing visible on the Peacekeeper.
 * It uses the same magazine as the P90.
 * Its serial number is 20032012.
 * As the PDW-57 has an integral grip, adding the Foregrip causes no cosmetic change, although it does change the behavior appropriately.
