"Full-auto assault rifle. High damage. Slower fire rate." ― Description

The Masada is an American fully-automatic assault rifle. It can only be obtained through the Mystery Box.

The Masada deals high damage per shot and boasts a decent fire rate. It has low recoil that has a predictable vertical climb that is relatively easy to control. It has a slightly larger magazine size than most assault rifles with a decent reload speed and a large pool of reserve ammunition to draw from.

Overall, the high damage and large ammunition pool of the Masada makes it a powerful and reliable assault rifle. However, the Masada suffers from a slightly slower rate of fire and slower reload speed to compensate.

Pros & Cons[]

Pros:

  • Good damage output.
  • Predictable recoil.
  • Good magazine capacity.
  • Great ammo reserves.

Cons:

  • Slightly slower fire rate.
  • Slightly slower reload speed.
  • Has to be acquired through chance from the Mystery Box.

Weapon Upgrade[]

When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch machine, the Masada becomes The Fortress.

With the Defender Module, shots fired from the upgraded weapon have a 15% chance to massively slow any enemies hit and dealing 200% damage. The slow reduces movement by 90% and has a 1 second duration.

In addition to slowing shots, The Fortress gains increased damage and a higher multiplier for shots to the head. The upgraded weapon also benefits from a larger maximum ammunition reserve.
