<p class="callout warning"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**TACTICS:**</span>  
This weapon's high rate of fire and quick reload means that it can quickly deliver an almost continuous stream of fire upon the enemy. The PDW-R can employ this method of engagement to greater effect than other similar weapons due to is higher accuracy, meaning that more of shots will successfully strike instead of missing. This accuracy is partly due to the use of lower powered projectiles, sacrificing ballistic effect of each shot in favor of oversaturating the target with ordnance. This demands a higher level of ammunition consumption, and the weapon still unable to engage enemies beyond the typical range of most SMGs. ***<span class="mw-headline"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Recommended gear:</span></span>***  
- Glasses increases its low engagement range, with some variants increasing accuracy as well.</p>

<p class="callout info"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**WEAPON BRIEF:** </span>The PDW-R is a compact firearm in a bullpup configuration. It is notable as being one of the few PDWs to use a standard assault rifle caliber. It features a pistol grip and ergonomics similar to the P-90, ambidextrous ejection system and controls and a tactical rail to install any desired optics.  
Procurement of this weapon is limited as production was halted with the outbreak and only a few police forces and government agencies managed to acquire some.</p>
