Running out of ammo while using this weapon is almost impossible, but it does have its downsides. With the largest magazine of all the assault rifles, the Revenant ammo clip holds 80 shots with a base spare ammo capacity of 480 and 527 with the Armor Pack upgrade. Useful against armor, shields and barriers, the M-76 Revenant does 1.4 percent bonus damage against armor, and 1.2 percent against shields and barriers.

With the targeting upgrade, it becomes equally effective at mid-range as well. The bonus damage modifier is 1.25 percent against shields, armor and barriers, allowing Shepard to spread damage across large numbers of weaker enemies to take them out and advance the fight. Because the recoil is on the lower end, long-range accuracy is much higher than other assault rifles. However, along with the Geth Pulse Rifle, it has the lowest base damage, dealing just 10.8 damage per round.

The Avenger has the second largest ammo capacity at 400 rounds, 440 with the Armor Pack. It can be acquired later in the game for players who specialize in assault rifle training.

As the default starting weapon for soldiers, the Avenger becomes accessible during the “Freedom’s Progress” mission after Shepard’s first meeting with the Illusive Man, but only if the player character is a Soldier. Manufactured by Elkoss Combine, the M-8 Avenger is one of the game’s most accessible and common assault rifles.
