VE-C Horizon

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

The Vanu Esamir - C Horizon is a carbine released alongside the MG-C1 Kindred and  MGR-C1 Charger as part of a series of empire specific weapons, each bringing interesting mechanics to the lineup alongside unique attachments. With the Horizon, this is a uniquely accurate yet shotgun-esque firing method alongside a perfectly accurate minimum cone-of-fire in both stances, and access to Unstable Ammunition as well as Capsulate Ammunition.

The Horizon's bullets are instead fired as a spread of three 'pellets' horizontally when fired from the hip, which is tightened and spread vertically instead when fired while aiming. With Capsulate Ammunition loaded, the spread is tightened, and the damage is consolidated into two pellets rather than three.
