Pulsar Burst

The  is an assault rifle available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Pulsar Burst is a variant of the Pulsar VS1, equivalent to the Gauss Rifle Burst and  T1B Cycler, being a modification of the standard issue assault rifle that sacrifices the typical full-automatic fire mode and some hip accuracy for heavily reduced recoil on a burst fire mode.

There is no enforced delay between bursts on the Pulsar Burst. If the user perfectly times their trigger pulls, the Pulsar Burst's maximum fire rate is indeed 698 RPM.

Like most dedicated burst weaponry, the Pulsar Burst enjoys reduced recoil on the first shot of each burst, where most automatics suffer increase recoil on that same first shot. Changing fire modes ( by default) to semi-automatic will return this recoil reduction to an increase, subjecting each of the weapon's shots to heavier recoil.
