All primary weapons in Ghost Recon Online have three variants. The differences in these variants are to fit the playstyle of each player. The different variants have certain customizations locked to further define their role and play-style. Not all of the mentioned variants apply to every weapon. There are a few weapons whose variants do not follow the usual naming or are completely different weapons all together. (e.g. VSS, MG36, M249, SVD, MP-5, L86, OC-14) Weapons in Ghost Recon Online also exhibit a critical hit system through which consistent leveling up of the weapon, increases the amount of critical hit chance. This is accomplished by getting kills with that particular weapon. The max level for any weapon is 10.
