SR-ARX Einstein

The  is a sniper rifle available to Nanite Systems Operatives. It is unlocked upon completion of the Master Sniper Rifles directive.

The SR-ARX Einstein is an "auraxium" variant of the SR-100, sharing much of the same design philosophy. Though at the sacrifice of muzzle velocity and magazine size compared to its predecessor, the Einstein has access to a unique damage model—400 damage, with zero fall-off.

Damage Fall-off

 * 400 at All Ranges

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.

History

 * July 1, 2021 Update (_Integration)
 * Added to the game.
 * 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.
 * Magazine size from 6 to 8.
 * Ammunition capacity from 60 to 72.
 * Dev Note: Didn't need much in the way of changes here.
 * Now has access to the Flash Suppressor, Darklight Flashlight and Weighted Receiver.

Trivia

 * The SR-ARX Einstein's name references Albert Einstein—a German-born theoretical physicist.
