Vicar Mark II

The Vicar Mark II is a Weapon in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It is the first Assault Rifle Lara finds in the game. She takes it off a dead Trinity mercenary in the Peruvian Jungle. Like all the other Trinity long guns it is named after clerical professions, e.g. the Bishop shotgun. It occupies the rifle slot in Lara's load-out and can be selected by pressing right in the d-pad.

Standard issue assault rifle for Trinity Forces. Balanced and reliable in any climate, or situation.
