RIA 20 DSC

Overview
The RIA 20 DSC ( D eep S pace C ombat) is good against everything except for physical-resisting zombies, such as Chitinous Hide zombies and the blue Necrosis Spawn, as well as large quantities of stronger zombies. The RIA 20 DSC is good both for sniping shamblers and spitters with ease, or destroying an entire horde if you spam shots quickly enough.

The version of this is very high in damage per shot- able to drop almost any zombie you'll meet in 2-4 shots by the time you get this in the game- perfect to kill any boss apart from the physical-resisting ones. Most guns have the "need" to be rapid-fired to be good, which can be a real problem when there's swarms of zombies coming at you. However, with the large damage per shot, large clip, and pierce of 2, the RIA 20 DSC removes that aspect almost completely if you can click at least 6 times a second.

The best Augments to get for the DSC would be Deadly, Adaptive, and Capacity/ Race Modded. Deadly is obviously for increasing DPS, Race Modded decreases the downtime you spend reloading, and Capacity is to help those faster clickers who can deplete its entire clip in a matter of seconds. Adaptive is to help for physical-resisting zombies, but do know that it is more useful to get this on a DSC, since by the time a non- DSC is obtained, there will be little-to-no Chitinous Hide zombies or the like unless it is used in multiplayer mode.

Overall, the RIA 20 DSC is better in almost every way than most full-auto assault rifles like the Ronson 65-a, the RIA 20 Para and the CM 401 Planet Stormer if you can click faster than those guns can shoot. However, many people choose to use the Para, which it appears at similar levels and because of its full-auto firing mode, which is generally more appealing than a semi auto weapon to many. The Para fires at a measly rate of 6 per second, most people click faster than that so if you can fire on average as fast as that, you already have a huge head start in the damage race versus the Para. Most will replace it with the Raptor, the Hard Thorn, or the DSC's thermal variant, the RIA 20 Striker.
