## About Wz.55 Striga and X-58 Nyx

### Wz.55 Striga

Low-fire-rate SMG with best-in-class mobility and recoil control; subsonic rounds hide enemy skulls on kills.

Apex Attachment, WZ.55 Striga Rampage: Paired-frame akimbo conversion that doubles close-quarters output while keeping the platform agile. Harder to control. It blocks optic, stock, and underbarrel attachments.

### X-58 Nyx

Covert SMG with an integrated suppressor and strong sound reduction at close to mid range.

Apex Attachment, X-58 Void: Subsonic modification: very quiet fire, hides skulls on enemy deaths and minimizes directional hit indicators. It blocks barrel and ammunition attachments.
