The M5A2 Carbine is Nathan Hale's starting weapon, and is also
the default weapon for the US Army and
British Armed forces. It is
exceedingly sturdy and will more often than not be the last line of defence against the
Chimera.
The Carbine is a good multi-purpose weapon, but it is very effective against Hybrids
and Slipskulls. Aim for their head's and they won't cause much of a problem for
too long.
The grenade launcher extension is also extremely useful against the bigger enemies, such as the
Steelhead, which can be taken down in one hit, but ammunition for this is
usually very sparce, so make sure it isn't wasted when obtained.
Tip: Unlike online mode, the enemies (particularly Hybrids) won't
dart around everywhere. Make sure you use the scope to line up some nice headshots before they get too close to do some serious damage.
