Auger Mark II

The Auger Mark II is an upgraded version of the standard Chimeran Auger Rifle.

Resistance 2
The Auger Mark II works identically to the standard Auger (fires through most walls, creates a defensive shield), with one exception; The Auger Mark II comes with a transparent visor which reveals the thermal signature of any enemies through walls, making the Mark II perfect for neutralizing enemies without having to guess where they are as with the previous Auger. All enemy targets within a set distance show up as yellow silhouettes when the Mark II is aimed carefully. The Auger is first use in San Francisco.

Single Player
The Auger is a fairly rare weapon in single player. It is mostly found off Steelheads, but with the super hybrid weapon cheat it is much more common.

Multiplayer
Like the HVAP Wraith, the Auger is best used for supporting team-mates or defending areas. One advantage over the Wraith in this aspect is the fact that the player can fire back on enemies while shielding, and can leave the shield in place while on the move. It has medium power and range, and retains it's penetration abilities.

Resistance 3
The Auger is upgraded with a scope with targeting hairs.

Technology
The Auger Mark II's new enemy highlighting power is theorized to work by sending out x-rays, or low-power, widely-dispersed transient energy pulses, every few nanoseconds, that pass through barriers and bounce off of enemies and objects before returning a few nanoseconds later to the Auger Mark II. The Auger Mark II's computer then interprets the data and displays the data holographically by using a low power version of the Auger II's shield to overlap the images on to the barrier. This technology would place the Auger Mark II as one of the most advanced infantry combat weapons ever seen on the battlefield. This weapon's new technology enables the user to literally see through walls.
