Trivia[]
- The in-game description references Eclipse Army soldiers as the M4X1 was used by the Eclipse Military in the Eclipse Warfare series.
- D-pad up enables all three ammo types; D-pad right enables Sabot Rounds; D-pad down enables Armour-Piercing Rounds; D-pad left enables Full Metal Jacket Rounds. On PC, the corresponding Arrow keys allow players to switch the Rounds.
- When switching the Rounds, the player's in-game character changes their magazine while saying "Switching rounds!", which is commonly heard from soldiers of the Eclipse Military.
