The DC3 Elite is a very useful gun in all the levels where it is used. In Veblensk it can be used to take out the RPG on the tower without wasting valuable RPG ammo. In the Foundry it is suppressed which allows players to take out the first few soldiers in the level without leaving the starting area. If an alarm is raised then the player can utilize its long-ranged capability to take out the incoming wave of soldiers while sustaining minimal damage. Although it doesn't appear in later levels past the Nazran Foundry.
