The AF-8 RailJack is an empire specific New Conglomerate sniper rifle. It features extremely high muzzle velocity, that counterbalanced with a small delay(200ms) between actual pressing the trigger and firing a bullet, it will require additional leading on the target after pressing the trigger. The high muzzle velocity is very important for snipers and the delay allows for you to adjust your aim after pressing the trigger.

This weapon is the only sniper rifle being able to 1-headshot-kill other infiltrators regardless of range (min damage 450).

Its maximum one-headshot kill range is at 365 meters, assuming a non-overshielded target. This is over 3/4ths of infantry render distance.

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.

• 750 before 10 meters
• 500 at 335 meters
• 477 at 365 meters
• 450 after 400 meters

Attachments

Available attachments

Optics M7 Optics (7x) The NC's square M7 Scope uses a mil-dot reticle and 7x magnification. 30 50 A-Eight (8x) Using a standard mil-dot reticle and 8x magnification in a circular scope, the NC's Albatross-Eight provides a solid advantage for long-range shots. 30 50 IO-10 (10x) The IO-10 by InfilOptics is a favorite among sharpshooters due to its 10x magnification and easy-to-use mil-dot reticle. 30 50 IO-12 (12x) InfilOptics released the IO-12 as the ultimate in telescopic gun sights. It features 12x magnification and a standard mil-dot reticle. 30 50 Barrel Attachments Suppressor The weapon's muzzle flash and noise generation is reduced, and the player no longer appears on the minimap when firing. In exchange, the weapon's damage falls off 20 meters sooner, and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%. 100 75 Rail Attachments Darklight Flashlight The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position. 100 75 Straight-pull Bolt The straight-pull bolt allows the sniper to chamber another round while aiming down sights. 100 75 Ammo No Ammo available.
