Pulsar LSW

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

The Pulsar Light Support Weapon is presented as a more middle-of-the-road option compared to the Orion VS54. In sacrificing some damage and a large amount of hip accuracy, the Pulsar LSW earns an extra 25 rounds in the magazine (plus further access to an Extended Magazine) and potentially superior ranged accuracy, thanks in part both to friendlier vertical recoil and a very low bloom-per-shot, lower than the vast majority of similar weapons.

The Pulsar LSW's biggest competition within the Vanu arsenal is found in the SVA-88, which shares the Pulsar's rate-of-fire and damage model but sacrifices some reload speed, access to an Extended Magazine and Soft Point Ammunition, and suffers a bit more recoil in exchange for improved hip accuracy and access instead to High Velocity Ammunition and Unstable Ammunition.

Trivia
