Weapon Upgrade[]

When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch machine, the K1A becomes the Kumiho.

With the Sustenance Module, the upgraded weapon will chamber 3 rounds into the magazine for each kill, drawing from the weapons reserve ammo. In addition, the next 3 shots will deal 125% damage. This effect can stack for up to 9 empowered bullets, as indicated by a "Foxfire" counter on screen.

Because this effect draws from the player's ammo reserves, the module will not trigger if weapon has no reserve ammo left.

Trivia[]

The base weapon model of the K1A is built by the Roblox user jtchoi2003.
In real life, K1A is technically a carbine instead of a submachine gun, as it fires an intermediate rifle cartridge.
- However, it is classified as a submachine gun by the South Korean military and manufacturer.
- This is because the weapon was designed with the intention to serve a submachine gun role, as a replacement of the M3 submachine gun in the South Korean military.
The upgraded K1A is named after kumiho, mythological fox spirits that appear in Korean folktales and legends.
- Kumiho (gumiho), or 구미호, literally translates to nine-tailed fox in Korean.
- The name of the upgraded module, "Sustenance", refers to their need to feed on human organs, particularly the heart and liver.
- Similar fox spirits in Asian mythology, such as the Chinese huli jing or the Japanese kitsune, often have ambiguous moral compasses. However, the Korean kumiho are almost always viewed as evil creatures.
When the magazine of the K1A is emptied, the bolt is visibly locked back.
The K1A was added in the Map Update on February 18, 2021.
