Cosmos VM3

The  is a MAX Anti-Infantry arm available to the Vanu Sovereignty. Both arms are unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Cosmos VM3 is a unique weapon among MAX anti-infantry arms. Though also toting an improved ammunition capacity versus the Vanu's other AI arms, the Cosmos' primary feature is the weapon's usage of Unstable Ammunition—which reduces the arm's headshot multiplier to 1.2x (down from the typical 2.0x multiplier) in exchange for the weapon's bullets being larger than usual. The Cosmos' noticably poor hip accuracy may serve to dampen the benefits of this perk, however.

History

 * March 20, 2019 Update
 * Short reload from 2.1sec. to 2.25sec.
 * Long reload from 3.1sec. to 3sec.
 * Headshot multiplier from 2 to 1.2
 * Projectile velocity from 500 to 400
 * Projectile size increased
 * Projectile visuals modified
 * Dev Note: This is a somewhat experimental departure from how the weapon used to behave. Instead of being a "higher ammo capacity Quasar," we're moving it more toward an "Unstable Ammunition" style weapon, with less emphasis on headshots and more consistent damage over time.
 * August 28, 2019 Update
 * Maximum damage from 167 to 143
 * Minimum damage from 143 to 125
 * Dev Note: The bigger bullets of the Cosmos, despite the headshot damage reduction, has made this weapon overperform when attached to such a high health pool target. We're going to keep the unique aspect of the weapon while trying to reel in that performance a bit.
