Umbra x-MOD2 is the Phantom Liberty x-MOD2 variant of the Darra Polytechnic DA8 Umbra, a cheap, fast-firing assault rifle. Its Iconic bonus is about choice. It has two guaranteed mod slots and handles better than the standard Umbra. V chooses the mods and sets the rifle up to fit the build. It also has a muzzle slot for one more attachment. Umbra x-MOD2 is a Phantom Liberty find at the Wild Blue hotel near Terra Cognita in Dogtown. It appears after V claims the first airdrop during Lucretia My Reflection.
Combat
The Umbra is a Power assault rifle with a very high rate of fire. It fires bullets fast, empties its magazine quickly and works best at short and mid range. Power rounds can ricochet off surfaces, which helps against enemies behind cover. The x-MOD2's better handling makes it quicker to aim and easier to control than a standard Umbra.
The two mod slots decide how it works. Ready Steady cuts recoil, and more so when aiming from cover. Big Mag adds a lot of magazine capacity, but reloads get slower. Swiss Cheese adds armor penetration but raises the Stamina cost per bullet. Better Half adds crit chance for the second half of each magazine, which helps a gun that empties fast. Critochet adds crit chance to ricochets. Pyro turns part of the damage into Thermal damage with a chance to Burn. Pax makes the rifle non-lethal for a run without kills.
The muzzle slot adds more choice. A silencer such as the CS-1 Taipan adds stealth damage for a first burst. An RC-7 muzzle brake cuts recoil or spread. The RC-7 Varkolak instead raises the ricochet chance, which works well with Critochet.

Character Builds
Assault rifles use the Reflexes tree. Ready, Rested, Reloaded lowers the Stamina cost of shooting and speeds up reloads at high Stamina. Mind Over Matter cuts recoil while aiming. Tunnel Vision adds range and accuracy. Sharpshooter improves weapon control and gains a stack with each hit. Shoot To Chill adds armor penetration for each Sharpshooter stack. Practice Makes Perfect adds crit chance and crit damage for each stack. Salt In The Wound deals bonus damage after several hits in a row on the same target.
For cyberware, Immovable Force and Shock Absorber both reduce recoil. Clutch Padding lowers the Stamina cost of shooting. The Ballistic Coprocessor raises the ricochet chance with Power weapons, which works well with Critochet.
Select a Build
A Blood Pump at the start of a fight triggers Adrenaline Rush for extra Health. An air Dash while aiming triggers Kerenzikov, and the Sandevistan follows once Kerenzikov ends. Headshots deal the bulk of the damage, and cover is the place to recover Health.
Attributes: Body 20, Reflexes 20, Technical Ability 20, Intelligence 3, Cool 18.

Lore
The DA8 Umbra is a budget rifle made by Darra Polytechnic. Its in-game text is blunt about it: fire, kill, toss. It is not a keepsake, and owners throw it away as soon as something better comes along. The x-MOD2 does the opposite. Its Iconic text calls it a special variant of the weapon, capable of additional modification, with an optimised design that improves handling.
The x-MOD2 weapons are part of Phantom Liberty. Each one is a familiar gun with guaranteed mod slots, so its value comes from the mods V puts into it. Carmen is the other Iconic built on the DA8 Umbra.
Notes
- Carmen is the other Iconic variant of the DA8 Umbra.
