The AKM in CRIMCORP's Roblox game Criminality is an upgraded, heavy-hitting variant of the AKS-74U assault rifle. Known for its .80 armor penetration and pre-equipped tactical attachments, the AKM can down unarmored targets in three headshots. It is widely considered one of the hardest-hitting automatic primary weapons in SECTOR-07, though its high purchase price and inventory weight make it a substantial risk to carry.
Criminality AKM Overview and Core Stats
The AKM functions like a fully automatic version of the SKS, modified with high-penetration ammunition, an optic sight, and a tactical laser. While it costs significantly more than standard dealer rifles, its raw stopping power allows players to shred through armored enemies in close-to-medium ranges.

How to Get the AKM in Criminality
Unlike standard firearms that are readily available at baseline map dealers or the standard Armory, the AKM has strict obtainability limits designed to keep it rare.
1. Purchasing from Rebel Dealers
The most direct way to acquire an AKM is through a Rebel Dealer. Rebel Dealers maintain a limited stock of only one AKM at a price of $5,600 cash. To buy it at standard dealer pricing, players must meet the Level 65 requirement (increased from Level 45 in earlier updates). Opening a dealer provides 80 seconds of interaction protection as long as you are not engaged in active combat.
2. Airdrops and Mystery Crates
Players who do not have $5,600 or the Level 65 requirement can obtain an AKM through world events:
- Airdrops: Supply crates dropped periodically across SECTOR-07 can yield high-tier military gear, including the AKM.
- Mystery Crates: Purchasing or opening mystery crates scattered across the map offers a chance to pull an AKM.
Note on Scrap Piles: Following update V1.6.0, the AKM no longer spawns in gold scrap piles in the Vibe Check area. It cannot be salvaged from standard ground scrap.
Recoil Mechanics and Attachment Handling
In Criminality, automatic weapons do not experience continuous upward recoil. Instead, rifles have an initial kick during the opening burst before settling into a flat spray pattern.
- Initial Burst: The AKM recoils during its first three shots. Pull down smoothly on your mouse for the first three rounds to keep the grouping centered.
- Sustained Fire: After the third shot, the rifle stabilizes into a tight, laser-accurate spread with minimal horizontal deviation. Its moderate fire rate makes spray tracking much easier than rapid-fire submachine guns like the MAC-10 or G-18.
- The Tactical Laser: The built-in laser improves hipfire spread during close-quarters panic fights. As of the V2.0 update, the laser beam can partially obscure and blind an opponent's vision if aimed directly into their eyes. However, the visible beam will broadcast your position through doorway cracks and alley corners.
- Semi-Auto Tapping: For engagements spanning beyond medium range (such as Armory 1 to nearby rooftops), swap the rifle to semi-automatic mode. The AKM features quick recoil recovery between single taps, preserving ammunition and maintaining accuracy.
Recommended Loadouts and Gear Pairings
Carrying a $5,600 rifle makes you an immediate priority target for entire servers and bounty hunters. Equipping complementary gear is necessary to ensure you do not drop the weapon during an ambush.
Armor Choices
- Tier 1 Vest: A solid, lightweight choice for solo play. It provides baseline bullet mitigation without inflicting a movement speed penalty.
- Tier 2 Helmet: Pairing a T1 Vest with a T2 Helmet protects your head from being two-tapped by high-caliber pistols like the Desert Eagle or Magnum.
- Tier 3 Kit: If you are playing with an organized squad, full Tier 3 gear maximizes your survivability against shotgun rushers and snipers.
Secondary Weapons
- G-18: An automatic secondary running in your sidearm slot provides reliable backup DPS if your 30-round AKM magazine runs dry in close-quarters combat.
- M1911: A cost-effective semi-automatic pistol with manageable recoil, useful for finishing off downed enemies.
Consumables
- Rage Dose: Available at dealers for $250, a Rage Dose grants 20 seconds of infinite stamina and a health buff. This consumable allows AKM users to quickly reposition, escape gang pinches, or pursue fleeing targets.
- Splints and Bandages: Broken limbs severely increase weapon recoil and degrade aim stability. Always keep a $20 splint and $30 bandages in your inventory to repair limb debuffs immediately.
AKM vs. Other Assault Rifles
Choosing between the high-tier rifles in Criminality depends on your budget, current cash reserves, and engagement distance.
| Weapon | Purchase Price | Source | Magazine | Armor Penetration | Playstyle Profile |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AKM | $5,600 | Rebel Dealer / Airdrops | 30 Rounds | 0.80 | Heavy armor shredder; pre-modded; high risk/cost. |
| AKS-74U | $1,750 | Standard Dealer | 30 Rounds | Baseline | Affordable daily driver; low recoil; budget-friendly. |
| M4A1 | Armory Exclusive | Armory / Level Unlock | 30 Rounds | Moderate | High rate of fire; low recoil with mods; expensive setup. |
The AKM outperforms the SCAR-H in close-to-medium engagements due to its larger 30-round magazine and faster fire rate, which downs targets quicker when factoring in its 0.80 armor penetration. However, the standard AKS-74U remains the superior economic choice for solo players who cannot afford to lose $5,600 upon death.
