A Security Kross, seen in the A Choir of Guns trailer.
The Kross SMG is a submachine gun in Brink. The Kross is a Light weapon, thus making it usable by every bodytype. Judging by its performance, the Kross is a firearm that will be unlocked fairly early in the game
A Kross in the hands of a Security unit.
Performance
The Kross' weakness is that does very minimal damage, requiring at least half a magazine in order to incapacitate smaller bodytypes (though whether or not this rating has been improved in more recent builds is unknown). However, the Kross makes up for this shortcoming with an extremely high rate of fire alongside low recoil and bullet spread while on full auto. These two factors, make the Kross primarily a close-range combat weapon.
In recent trailers, the Kross was shown to have forty rounds stock , but a PAX East video shows the Kross with only seventy shots in a drum magazine, thus hinting that the stock magazine ammunition count has been lowered to thirty-five.
Trivia
- The Kross is one of the first weapons shown in the game, first seen in the Container City gameplay. It is also most commonly seen gun in trailers and publicity stills.
- The Kross is based on the TDI Vector. The Vector has a recoil-compensating system known as the Kriss Super V, which is the inspiration for the name of the Kross.
- The naming of this weapon might be a play on the Hip-Hop duo Kris Kross.
