KSR-35

The  is a sniper rifle available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Kashmir Sniper Rifle - 35 is a mid-range sniper rifle, most comparable to the 99SV. This rifle sacrifices access to high-magnification optics—including the typically built-in 6x Scope—to instead mount low-magnification sights. In exchange, however, the KSR-35 is considerably hampered at longer ranges—with lower velocity, noticeably harsher damage fall-off, and worse bloom while aimed.

The KSR-35 and Impetus are statistically identical weapons, although the Vanu equivalent in the  Phantom VA23 deviates quite significantly in ballistics and ranged performance.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the rifle. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.

History

 * November 18, 2016 Hotfix
 * Recoil recovery delay from 0ms to -130ms
 * March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
 * Anti-infantry sniper rifles now use a separate resistance (type 20).
 * Being struck by a sniper rifle now has more prominent audio.
 * Dev Note: The damage values for this new resistance are equivalent to small arms. This change will allow us to do is modify the bodyshot damage output from Nanoweave, as mentioned above.
 * Most Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Scout Rifles now use Comfort Grips, instead of Forward Grips.
 * Dev Note: Traditional Forward Grips offered no functional benefits to slow firing semi-auto weapons, so swapping them for Comfort Grips (which reduce the equip and unequip time of a weapon,) can be interpreted as a buff in almost all cases.
 * Max damage range from 10m to 15m
 * ADS starting CoF while moving from 0.55 to 0.25
 * ADS CoF bloom from 0.8 to 0.2
 * Dev Note: These changes make the progression from scout rifle to semi-auto sniper a bit more apparent as semi-auto snipers in general are made more useful.
 * Now has access to the Weighted Receiver.
