NS-44L Blackhand

The NS-44L Blackhand is a pistol produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Nanite Systems - 44L Blackhand is a modified NS-44 Commissioner, sacrificing magazine size and hip accuracy for vastly increased power at range through velocity, damage fall-off and aimed accuracy.

Compared to the Commissioner, the Blackhand can notably kill non-overshielded infantry in two headshots at any range, as well as killing non-overshielded infantry in four bodyshots at any range, neither of which can be boasted of by the Commissioner, though the Blackhand suffers at close quarters through a worse minimum hip cone-of-fire and mandatory in-built 4x scope.
