| — In-game description |
The “Dusk” ce.III (simply known as a Dusk) is a Colonial Assault Rifle. It fires 7.92mm ammunition.
Description
It is a Colonial 7.92mm primary weapon with medium damage (35-52 
), very high fire rate (300 rounds/min), medium range (18m effective, 37max), and a large magazine (40 rounds). It has decent accuracy however the gun destabilizes quickly when firing due of its fire rate (despite modest recoil per bullet) and also quickly when moving. On top of that its accuracy stabilizes a bit slower than most firearms which forces the shooter to use stable firing positions if they wish to keep some accuracy. Even when crouched and in full cover the gun still loses accuracy while firing.
That instability is compensated by the gun's high capacity and high volume of fire. It is best suited for aggressive pushes at close and medium ranges, killing in three shots (very rarely in two) within its effective range. Additionally, with its unusually long maximum range it can really suppress and injure enemies at long range (it still deals 10 damage at 30m).
The Soldier Uniform reduces the Dusk's weight by 25%.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).
Production
| Structure | Input(s) | Output | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
 Factory (Small Arms) | 15 x Refined Materials  | 1 Crate of 20 x “Dusk” ce.III  | 00:01:20 |
 Mass Production Factory (Small Arms) | 15 x Refined Materials | 1 Crate of 20 x “Dusk” ce.III | 00:13:20 |
Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures 
Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Mass Production Factory orders must have at least 3 crates.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot).It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of “Dusk” ce.III can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
Its main characteristic is its high rate of fire and large magazine, making the gun a bullet hose. The gun can't be pin-point accurate and it loses its stability pretty fast while firing even when crouched behind cover. Movements make it lose stability fast, even faster than rifles. You need to be walking crouched while aiming to not lose any stability. Luckily even at its worst stability the gun can still be effective through the sheer number of bullets it fires.
Trivia
- The Dusk's stock, receiver, and pistol grip appear to be based on the Thompson, while its barrel shroud seems to be based on the PPSh-41.
