Parallax VX3

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

Vanu Labs' Parallax VX3 is the heaviest hitter in the long-range sniper rifle line-up. It suffers with the slowest chamber time and longest reload speed on the market, without bringing an increased ammo capacity as the V10 does, but chooses instead to provide incredible ranged power through both the highest muzzle velocity and highest damage of any long range rifle.

As with most bolt-action sniper rifles, the Parallax VX3 deals 210% damage on a headshot, rather than only 200%, increasing the range at which the rifle is able to kill standard infantry with one headshot.

The Parallax VX3, EM4 Longshot, and  RAMS .50M are statistically identical.

Damage Fall-Off
The two intermediate ranges listed are the ranges at which two bodyshots or one headshot, respectively, no longer kill a standard infantry target.
 * 700 before 10 meters
 * 500 at 270 meters
 * 477 at 300 meters
 * 400 after 400 meters

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.

Trivia

 * The Parallax VX3 is named after the concept of 'parallax'—a mechanic whereby the displacement of an object can be noticed if viewed from two different points in relation to an object. Parallax is often used in measuring the distance of distant astronomical bodies.

History

 * 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.
 * Short reload from 4.72sec. to 3.86sec.
 * Long reload from 6.575sec. to 5sec.
