NSX Tengu

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

The Nanite Systems Export Tengu is a curious hybrid of a submachine gun and a shotgun. Though firing in full-auto with a relatively fast fire rate as any normal weapon would, the Tengu's shots release four pellets rather than a single bullet, limiting the Tengu's range but allowing it access to a rather lethal damage model for such a small platform.

The Tengu fires four pellets per shot, each dealing 50 damage within maximum range, allowing the Tengu to potentially deal 200 damage per shot. However, the weapon uses similar cone-of-fire and spread mechanics to any typical shotgun; the cone-of-fire dictates the center of the spread, and then the pellets are randomly spread around that point, decreasing the submachine gun's potency at range even more than other weapons of its class.

Damage Fall-off
Stats in green are the weapon's damage assuming all pellets connect at the given range, and stats in yellow are the range with Soft Point Ammunition.
 * 50 before 6 meters (200) (11 meters)
 * 42 at 26 meters (168) (28 meters)
 * 36 after 40 meters (144) (40 meters)

Effectiveness
Assuming all pellets hit the target

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 submachine gun. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.

History

 * June 14, 2017 Hotfix
 * Magazine size from 18 to 20
 * Ammo capacity from 126 to 140
 * Hipfire Standing CoF from 1.75 to 1
 * Hipfire Crouching CoF from 1.75 to 1
 * Hipfire Walking CoF from 2 to 1.5
 * Hipfire Crouch Walking from 1.75 to 1.25
 * Hipfire pellet spread from 3.5 to 3
 * Hipfire CoF bloom from 0.14 to 0.07
 * Hybrid Laser Sight hipfire CoF and pellet spread reduction from -15% to -20%.
 * Suppressor velocity reduction from -35% to -20%.
 * Suppressor min-damage range reduction from -20m to -10m.
 * Dev note: While the aim down sights on this weapon is fairly competitive, the hipfire function was performing below expectations. Buffs to cone of fire attributes extend the range at which hipfire can be used, and the suppressor values now fall in line with that of other SMGs. Default magazine improvement of two rounds offers a bit more forgiveness against higher health targets, without stepping on the toes of other SMGs.
 * June 29, 2017 Hotfix
 * NSX Tengu crouch-walking CoF from 1.5 to 1.75 (this fixes a bug where Tengu receive better-than-intended CoF while crouch-walking.)
 * NSX Tengu suppressor audio changed to more accurately match the weapon's rate of fire.
 * Fixed a bug where Tengu’s Hybrid Laser was not granting the pellet spread reduction.
 * April 25, 2019 Update
 * Hybrid Laser attachment's hipfire pellet spread and cone of fire buff from 20% to 33%.
