  • TORNADO-6 Revolver [★3~]: Ocelot’s revolver of choice. Firing at solid surfaces such as walls causes a ricochet that may hit nearby enemies.
  • UN-AAM-NL Non-Lethal Machine Gun: A general-purpose 5.56mm machine gun of European manufacture, specially modified to fire rubber bullets.
  • Dispatch your forces to assault FOBs and aid your infiltration: This new feature allows you to dispatch a strike force to an FOB ahead of your infiltration, to knock out security devices or eliminate guards.
