Safety Override

Safety Override is a rail attachment available to the VE-LR Obelisk. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

While attached, a safety override confers a variety of benefits to the weapon whenever it is fired from the hip rather than while aimed.

The weapon is allowed to fire fully-automatically, as opposed to the typical semi-automatic firemode, the minimum hip cone-of-fire is reduced by 25%, and the weapon's rate-of-fire is doubled alongside the heat-per-shot being halved, in exchange for the weapon's damage also being halved.

Effects
While attached, a number of the weapon's stats are modified while firing from the hip. This attachment has zero effect whenever the weapon is fired while aiming down the sights.

Hip Cone-of-Fire
The weapon's minimum hip cone-of-fire values are decreased by 25% while this attachment is in use. Cone-of-fire bloom is unaffected.

Damage
The weapon's rate-of-fire is doubled from 185 RPM to 370 RPM, though a decrease in bullet damage from 334 per shot to 167 leads to no change in the weapon's total damage-per-second.

Heat
The weapon's heat-per-shot is decreased from 1000 per shot to 500 per shot, increasing the weapons effective magazine size from a potential maximum of 6 shots to 12 shots. The weapon's recovery rate and heat capacity are unaffected.
