The AR-N203 is an assault rifle available to Nanite Systems Operatives. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash

The AR-N203 is the longer-ranged option in the operative rifle arsenal, dealing higher damage-per-shot with a generous fall-off and low recoil, allowing it to threaten targets out to a considerable range, although this comes at the expense of rate-of-fire, hip accuracy, and reload speed, of which the N203 features the worst statistics in the operatives' assault rifle line-up. The weapon is at a noticeable disadvantage at shorter engagement ranges. Its saving grace is that it has a relatively generous minimum damage range. Landing a single burst of headshots in close quarters will kill infantry targets outright in most cases.

Like the PMG-3XB, this weapon will continue to fire in bursts if the fire key is held down through the weapon's burst delay.

Optic
THM-1 29 OR 30		This low-range thermal optic highlights enemy infantry and vehicles, allowing target differentiation even through smoke or in darkness.
ABLE 1.0 29 OR 30		The ABLE 1.0 uses a blue dot reflex for snappy target acquisition at close range. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
ABLE 2.0 29 OR 30		This enhanced ABLE optic increases zoom depth by up to two times, and uses a simple blue dot for close-mid range accuracy. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
ABLE 3.4 29 OR 30		The ABLE 3.4x optic provides more zoom depth than a standard reflex, with a blue dot reticle for mid-range engagements. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.

Barrel
Compensator 49 OR 100		A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil by 30%, and increasing hipfire cone of fire by 15%. The added sound pressure causes the player to show on the minimap 35m farther away.
Flash Suppressor 49 OR 100		A flash suppressor makes the shooter less visible to the enemy, but increases the range at which you appear on enemy minimaps by 15 meters.
Short Barrel 49 OR 100		This shortened barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 40% when firing from the hip, and increases vertical recoil by 20% while aiming down sights.
Suppressor 49 OR 100		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%.

Rail
Angled Forward Grip 49 OR 100		An angled forward grip reduces the vertical recoil of the first shot in a burst by 60%, but increase the side to side recoil of a weapon by 10%.
Darklight Flashlight 49 OR 100		The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position. The light can be turned on and off with Toggle Attachment hotkey.
Extended Magazine 99 OR 200		Increases the amount of ammunition in each magazine by 5 rounds, and the weapon takes 15% longer to equip and unequip.
Forward Grip 49 OR 100		A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%, but increases equip time by 0.15 sec.
Laser Sight 49 OR 100		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.

Ammo
High Velocity Ammunition 49 OR 100		High Velocity Ammunition increases the weapon's projectile velocity by 10% and minimum damage range by 20 meters, but reduces the weapon's maximum damage range by 2 meters.
Soft Point Ammunition 49 OR 100		Soft Point Ammunition increases the weapon's maximum damage range by 5 meters, but reduces its projectile velocity by 10%.

Damage Fall-off

_{Stats in yellow are with Soft Point Ammunition, and stats in orange are with High Velocity Ammunition.}

• 167 before 15 meters (20 meters) (13 meters)
• 143 after 90 meters (90 meters) (110 meters)
