Nyx VX31

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

Vanu Labs' Nyx VX31 is a precise weapon geared very specifically for mid-range combat. Sacrificing magazine capacity and fire rate for predictable recoil and consistent damage at range, the weapon is excellent for dealing with enemies kept at range, but suffers in extended engagements at longer ranges or in dealing with situations where the distance has been closed.

A fast reload can help the user keep up with the pace of an engagement, however, and the weapon is capable of killing standard infantry in two headshots at all ranges, greatly rewarding precise marksmen.

The Nyx VX31, AF-6 Shadow,  HSR-1 are statistically nigh-identical weapons, with the only difference found in the Vanu option's muzzle velocity, which is lowered in exchange for the faction's 'no bullet drop' trait.

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.
