Behind the scenes[]
- Ground Pounder affects both automatic and semi-automatic rifles. Until patch 1.7.5.4, the description erroneously stated it applied to automatic rifles only, though it still worked with semi-auto rifles.
- Although the perk card art for Ground Pounder depicts a R91 assault rifle, this weapon is not available in the game.
