Basically a higher level PDW-M with improvements in every aspect, this is a powerful weapon to wield. Compared to other SMGs, this weapon has higher accuracy and a slightly faster rate of fire. However, it still wields the same weaknesses as other SMGs, namely low damage and a short effective range. Otherwise, this is a rather effective all-around weapon.

- Glasses increases its low effective range, with some variants increasing accuracy as well.
BACKGROUND:
The rate of infected population has increased drastically since the original PDW-M platform was issued to HERC operatives for use in contested areas. Reports on the field have expressed a desire to alleviate the weapon's shortcomings, resulting in a design that is specially configured to fire high-velocity bottleneck cartridges; improving its capability as a CQB weapon for the organization's interests in contested zones.
Due to its high price and confidential construction, distribution of this variant is limited only to those with security clearance.
Variations:
The HERC-PDW has no modular variations.
