What it's good for
The base gun is a steady early SMG, but its low fire rate leaves it behind modern SMGs. Tsarevich is the version worth chasing; its armor-piercing rounds allow headshots on elite soldiers.
How to get it
Buy it from Juan's arms dealers or the Guerrilla Garrison, or loot it from FND chests. Raid the FND 2nd Armored Division in Madrugada for Streamline Moderne. Crush Nicolás Najarro's insurgency for Tsarevich.
Compared with its versions
Streamline Moderne has a bigger magazine and lets Dani move faster while aiming, but its soft-target ammo struggles late in the game. Tsarevich is the stronger all-rounder. Neither unique can be changed at a workbench.
