As the Tactical Support member of Heist Club, Åke is actively leading the missions and providing suppressing fire for the team during their hit and runs. However, as important as this task may be, doing it in style will aways be a priority for Åke Åkerman.
As stated on the H&K website regarding the UMP-45: This rifle is "Classy & Sassy"
That was enough to convince Åke that this was his weapon of choice. And it definitely didn't stop him from kitting it out with a custom clear suppressor and, of course, a holographic tiger print all over the rifle.
