Hunter QCX

The  is a sidearm produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Hunter Quad Cam X-bow is a crossbow, firing lethal darts capable of quietly eliminating targets. Alongside its notable lack of noise, the Hunter also stands out through its wide variety of alternate bolt choices—Explosive, Detection, and Incendiary Bolts—all allowing the crossbow to function in roles sidearms are not usually capable of, modifying the weapon's stats greatly to do so.

Unlike most weapons, the Hunter QCX only deals 150% of its normal damage on a headshot, preventing it from killing any standard infantry in a single hit—barring infiltrators not using Nano-Armor Cloaking. Although very quiet, the Hunter QCX is not suppressed and firing the weapon will reveal the user to enemies within 10 meters.

 * Dev Note: We've done some cleanup on the Hunter crossbow's attachments. Explosive Bolts' unnaturally high damage against certain targets is brought to be more in line with the weapon's intended functions. Additionally, we're stepping away from the spammability of smoke on this weapon to encourage the use of alternatives.
