2. Basics of the Groza
The Groza is one of the few bullpup design rifles currently in stock by the UNPSC. It is chambered in 9x39 ammunition. It's mags can hold 20+1 cartridges, giving it a slightly below average ammo capacity, similar to the FNL's short mag. The Groza costs 7500$ in your nearest UNPSC train cart. This weapon is unique because of the under barrel grenade launcher, compatible with UNPSC sold VOG grenades. This launcher cannot be removed.
3. Attachments and Upgrades
Out of the box, the Groza has iron sights, no rail S attachment points and no rail B attachment points, it has one built in grenade launcher.
At the upgrade box, you can choose to:
- Add 1x rail B slot/Switch to iron sights
- Decrease firerate
- Increase firerate
- Increase reliability
As always, choosing the increase reliability upgrade is recommended. Changing your firerate is up to personal preference. Purchasing the rail B slot for the top is also recommended to mount your own rail B attachment. Lasers can work for CQC situations, and scops for Short-Mid range.
the Groza is not recommended for Far-Extreme range sniping.
4. Ammunition
The Groza uses 9x39 ammunition. Currently, the UNPSC has three types of ammo of this caliber. (Both in large and small box formats.) These being:
-
FMJ (Full metal Jacket) No damage penalty, middle price tag. Good all around.
-
CHP (Copper Hollow Point AKA Cheap) Degraded quality cheap surplus ammunition. Suffers a fairly large damage penalty. Cheapest ammo.
-
AP (Armor Piercing) 15% less damage then FMJ, but has a 90% chance to pierce entities that are armored. Recommended for the Pobeda area.
-
Big box: 180 Cartridges
-
Small box: 20 Cartridges
5. Use Cases
The Groza is suited for many different types of situations. Being an automatic rifle, accurate and equipped with a grenade launcher.
Good
- Hordes of enemies
- CQC engagements
- Short range Engagements
- Mid range engagements
Bad
- Countersniping
-CQC Engagements (Grenade launcher will hurt you aswell.) - Picking off far ranged enemies.
As always, these use cases vary depending solely upon the explorer's skill.
6. Recommendations
Many Explorers will be turned off to the Groza because of competing weapons, and many will say the only reason it costs 7500 is because of the grenade launcher, which is already niche in of itself. An alternative is the AUG, it too is a bullpup rifle chambered in the same ammunition as the M4A1. Cheaper, but does not have a grenade launcher. The Groza is also 4.5 Kilograms, giving it an above average weight.
7. Closing
The Groza fills a niche role for explorers, it excels at elimination missions and where there are large groups of enemies. Grenades work brilliantly against their armor. There are alternatives however, if the Groza's role is not needed by you, the AUG may be of interest.
Onwards, Explorer!
