Widely considered to be the first storm rifle, the Aalto is a marvel in Caoivish engineering. With its two fire modes, it can be used as a rapid-fire assault weapon, or an mid-range rifle.
In-game description

The Aalto Storm Rifle 24 (simply known as an Aalto) is a selective-fire Warden 7.92mm Assault Rifle.

Description

The Aalto Storm Rifle 24 supports both semi-automatic (S) and fully-automatic (A) modes, giving it the close quarters effectiveness of a SMG and single shot accuracy for medium range. However, the flexibility comes at a cost, as the Aalto Storm Rifle is heavy. It has the perk of retaining stability while walking during aiming, allowing it to fire accurate bursts even while moving.

The Aalto Storm Rifle's select fire mode (default F) gives this weapon an edge in battle.

  • The weapon can switch to semi-auto (S) for greater single shot damage and accuracy at longer ranges.
  • Full automatic (A) mode is best suited for close to mid-range encounters.
  • The weapon is a "Jack of all trades, master of none, but still better than a master of one"

In full auto, the gun is a better version of the Fiddler except heavier and with more stability reduction during fast movement. The higher damage and higher accuracy make it a deadlier close quarter weapon but less mobile.

In single shot, the gun is a worse version of the Blakerow 871 carbine rifle. A stable firing position is recommended in this mode.

Like the other assault rifles, wielding the Aalto reduces your speed by 15%.

Triva

  • The Aalto Storm Rifle design appears to be inspired by several real life rifles
    • The general "pipe" look resembles that of the British Sten, particularly the Sten Mk 2 (front sections of the barrel) and the Sten Mk V (wooden stock and handle)
    • The furniture and receiver could be based on the Finnish Lahti-Saloranta M/26
  • Prior to the introduction of faction-specific small arms in Update 0.42 the Aalto Storm rifle was also used by the Colonials, and was referred to simply as a "Storm rifle". The weapon's stats, however, were identical
  • The weapon's name is Finnish for "wave", which is also commonly used as a surname
    • Usually, a Finnish naming scheme implies a weapon to be of Nevish origin
    • However, just like it's predecesor the Sampo Auto-Rifle 77, the Aalto is actually a Caoivish design
