Weapon Background
Note that Honey Badger is classified as a short-barrel carbine in real life, but due to unnameable reasons from MICA Team Honey Badger appears as a SMG class T-doll in game.
AAC Honey Badger is a fully automatic short barrel carbine type PDW weapon developed by Kevin Brittingham of Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC) in association with US SOCOM units. Developed based on the AR-15 weapon frame, Honey Badger was intended to be a more suitable replacement for close quarter weapon systems such as MP5.
Developed with a standard M4 upper and lower receiver, it features a shorter barrel with a higher twist rate, gas impingement system cycle is modified to be very short. Designed specifically to chamber the AAC .300 BLK cartridge, Honey Badger achieves a cyclic rate of fire of around 800 rounds per minute, while feeding on STANAG magazines of various capacities.
Honey Badger has a specially designed integrated suppressor. The suppressor can be removed but firing accuracy will be drastically reduced. With the subsonic cartridge Honey Badger fires, the noise generated from shooting is even lower than most similar products suppressed weapons on the market. The weapon itself does not come with any factory default iron sights, but has Picatinny rails atop and below the hand-guard to mount iron sights, optics and other accessories such as a fore-grip. It also features an adjustable stock.
Unfortunately, in 2013 Freedom Group who owned AAC at the time announced that they would be leaving the "rifle-making business", focusing more on suppressors and related accessories. Following this, the Honey Badger failed to meet deadlines for military feed backs and adjustments, it's intended service contract with the US SOCOM was taken by SIG Sauer's MCX instead. Failing to gain the procurement contract, Brittingham departed AAC, forming his own company to marketed the Honey Badger to the civilian gun owners/enthusiasts instead.
Character Info
Design
A T-doll of around 150cm in height, she's slightly more tanned in appearance when compared to the other T-dolls. The badger pet she has with her is named "Betty". On her damaged art, her pet Betty has a band-aid on the stomach, this indicates that a honey badger's thinnest skin is on its stomach.
Honey Badger is also the featured weapon of Call of Duty: Ghost, Betty as a pet is also designed with reference to the German Shepard "Riley" who appeared in CoD: Ghost.
Personality
Official character description indicates that she is a brave T-doll, not afraid of any form of adventure. Her problem solving skills are worth noting. She excels at bait and switch tactics, using Betty as a distraction while she combats the enemies. Betty has a tendency to steal food from other T-dolls, which is troublesome to say the least.
In-game
Honey Badger have a 6 second initial cool down skill that boosts her damage by a large magnitude, it can also increase her mobility by a set percentage. However in terms of damage output performance she is not as strong as the other damage output SMGs such as SMG UMP40
UMP40 
and SMG SR-3MPSR-3MP 
with her innate low rate of fire (low for a SMG), but she is significantly more robust than the said two.
Her tile buff however received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the player base, as she is able to provide both critical hit rate and damage to tile 1 and 7, while she fits herself in position 8, the perfect position for an off-tank.
Story Involvement
A T-doll servicing G&K main forces, a side character in the latest event Singularity. Singularity is a series of highly detailed story told by different routes describing a chaotic crossfire conflict between G&K, Sangvis Ferri, SOCOM, Defiance and 404. Honey Badger only had minor interactions with the Commander's forces during the hidden level of chapter 2: Survivor. The event of Survivor happened somewhere in between 0030 to 0150 hour.

Singularity
Badger was among the G&K T-doll units of G&K, she was part of the joint operation with SOCOM in attempt to annihilate Master mind. With the chaotic turn of events of Singularity, she was temporarily assigned under the Commander's forces. She was assigned on a covert reconnaissance mission in attempt to secure a supply route to the front line fighting forces
Badger contacted the Commander as he/she was being briefed by MG HK21HK21 
, HK21 reports her sister AR G3G3 
's echelon is fighting against vast amount of Ferri and their reinforcements, they requested a supply line to be established, to have their position resupplied and relief their pressure. Badger who was scouting in the region reported that Ferri have also engaged in combat with the SOCOM units, to ensure the operation success, the Commander must avoid confronting the SOCOM armor units.
HK21 comments on the situation just gotten more dire, but for the sake of her sister the supply line must be maintained. Badger reminded HK21 to pick her up on the field when the units are passing by.
"As long as G3 sis is safe, the others can do what they want..." - HK21
"Wait, what did you say?" - Badger
"I'm joking. This is an emergency situation after all, we have to work together if we want to survive... Probably..." - HK21
After hearing the sightly discouraging speech from HK21, Badger stated she will assist the Commander to her best ability, she showed off her admirable morale and encouraged all the T-dolls on the channel right before the mission began.
