The Alien Rifle is a long-range, accurate battle rifle used by the Usurpation Forces. The Alien Rifle is a fairly slow-firing weapon with considerable knockback, damage, and penetration. It is one of the most common weapons in the game, being used by nearly all ranks of the Usurpation Forces, with the exception of the Advanced Usurpation Soldier.

The Alien Rifle is very different in appearance from the other assault rifles. It does not feature a laser sight, and it is uniform in its dull golden color, giving it a basic, plain appearance. The weapon has a long trapezoid-type shape, with various attachments underneath. The Alien Rifle features a curved section on the back that resembles a grip, trigger guard, and stock. Strangely, this gun does not feature an actual trigger, and the guard does not enclose any type of firing mechanism. There is a symbol on the barrel of the weapon that resembles three dashes.

The Alien Rifle is characterized by having great accuracy and penetration, but a slow, sluggish fire rate. It has a fairly high stopping power, especially when compared with the other rifles, in terms of damage and knocking the enemy off balance.
