Serpent VE92

The  is a carbine available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Serpent Vanu Esamir 92 is an incredibly potent close-quarters weapon. Alongside its brother, the GD-7F, the Serpent has amongst the highest damage-per-second of any infantry weapon, barring those that can kill in one shot. Though tempered by a wild recoil pattern, harsh damage fall-off, and a lengthy reload time, the Serpent's raw damage output nonetheless makes it one of the most lethal and potent weapons on Auraxis.

Compared to the scarily similar GD-7F, the Serpent reloads a few milliseconds faster, though suffers a bit more at longer ranges thanks to a noticably lower muzzle velocity and slightly less favourable recoil pattern. Though not as directly analogous, the LC2 Lynx is another useful comparison as a carbine with a similarly rapid time-to-kill, though demanding more in the way of headshots to achieve it.

Unlike the New Conglomerate arsenal, Vanu infantry have another competitor in the carbine line up to consider in the form of the VX6-7, which sacrifices some damage-per-second for more favourable stats in several categories, including accuracy and reload speed.
