The RPK is a modified AK47 with a longer barrel, bipod, and drum magazine. It is designed as a crew-serviced support weapon rather than an assault rifle. - Weapon Description |
RPK is a kind of machine gun in CrossFire.
Overview[]
RPK is a machine gun based on the design of the AK47. It costs quite a bit for a machine gun that has 20-rounds less than the M60, but its attributes make up for it, as fewer bullets are needed per kill.
Its attributes and behavior are also similar to those of the AK47. It has a high damage output, dealing with pretty high damage per bullet. The accuracy is similar to an AK47 and has strong but predictable recoil.
If compared with M60, RPK is proved to be much easier to control as having predictable recoil & high accuracy, which makes it more potential to use in-game mode other than Mutation Mode & Zombie Mode, while M60 itself provides more power & more ammunition.
Availability[]
Available in all CrossFire versions

Trivia[]
- While most versions feature an 80-round magazine for RPK, CF China and CF Philippines feature a standard 100-round magazine, while CF Vietnam only has a 75-round magazine.
- However, in real life, the RPK's drum magazine can only hold 75 rounds. CF Vietnam is the only version to adapt the correct capacity of the RPK.
- RPK was one of a few weapons to change the HUD model after an update. Its old HUD still can be seen on the Gold variant, but with different moving animation.
- The old HUD could be seen in some CF versions, such as CF China and CF Indonesia.
- After the upgraded Accessory System update, the HUD of RPK (along with AK47 and AK74) was reverted to the old one, but it's only applied for variants with classic model.
- RPK is the second machine gun to receive a second-generation model (Gradation variant), after the Gatling Gun. It is also the first machine gun to receive a third-generation model (Hammer & Sickle variant).
