Sikfrit S77

AIA exclusive automatic shotgun fed by sixteen-shot revolving magazines. Faster rate of fire than the ASG10 but harder to control and hungrier on resupply.

At a glance

The Sikfrit S77 is a automatic shotgun built for close-quarters sustained fire. In Angels Fall First every primary still has to live inside the three-track loadout budget, so this gun is never evaluated in isolation — it is evaluated against what Combat points you still need for armour, grenades and a sidearm, and what Support points you want for a Multitool or packs.

Automatic Shotgun doctrine

Automatic shotguns keep pressure in CQB where a pump would leave you exposed between racks. They burn ammo and demand control — pair them with a Multitool or munitions pack when you expect prolonged corridor fights.

Field Notes

• Auto and 2-shot fire modes; the 2-shot mode is more ammo-efficient.
• Long barrel mod improves its mediocre effective range.

When to take the Sikfrit S77

Take it when the map and mode match its envelope. Open ground and long Incursion approaches favour rifles and carbines; fortress interiors, ship boarding and hangar fights favour shotguns and SMGs; armour-heavy Territories lanes demand that someone on the squad brings anti-vehicle. If your first death tells you the theatre changed, swap to a second saved loadout instead of forcing the wrong class.

Faction lock matters: only Antarean Empire (AIA) can field the Sikfrit S77. If you regularly play both sides, mirror it with a counterpart automatic shotgun on the other roster so your habits transfer.

Loadout budget tips

Start from the Combat track: leave room for medium armour and at least one grenade option when this weapon is expensive, or deliberately run it light so you can stack Support tools. Command-track gadgets rarely pair with a single gun choice — they pair with your role in the order chain. Use the loadout budget calculator to test ranks before you queue, and read the loadout & budget system guide if the three colours are still confusing.

For complete role kits that already include weapons of this class, use the best loadouts guide. For a full class-by-class review, see the weapons guide.

Other Antarean Empire (AIA) options

If you stay on the same faction but need a different job this match, these picks sit nearby in the armoury:

• Salier P6i (Assault Rifle) — Flexible rifleman
• Avex EVR (Plasma Rifle) — Explosive plasma skirmisher
• Salier MGA (Rotary Machine Gun) — Area denial
• Sikfrit L9R (Charge Sniper) — Variable-power marksman

Practical checklist

• Confirm the map theatre before locking this as your only primary.
• Save a CQB and a long-range loadout; swap after the first death if needed.
• Spend leftover points on sustain (Multitool, packs) rather than a vanity optic.
• Tell your squad leader what you brought so anti-vehicle and support coverage is intentional.
