The BAR-A50 is a scout rifle available to Nanite Systems Operatives. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The BAR-A50 is an automatic scout rifle, allowing it more ease of use when aimed at medium ranges combining with its slightly larger magazine, although it has the worst hip accuracy and slowest reload speeds of the scout rifle line-up.

The Artemis VX26, SOAS-20, and AF-18 Stalker automatic scout rifles have slightly better time-to-kill and hipfire statistics, pushing the BAR-A50 towards less aggressive engagements where it can better take advantage of its ability to tap-fire high damage headshots or ambush groups with its greater potential damage per magazine.

Its recoil, rate of fire, and damage model put it in the league of the Reaper DMR and NC9 A-Tross. Its bullet velocity and accuracy outside of the aimed/still state are inferior to those "pocket Gauss SAWs." It also lacks the ability to mount either a compensator or suppressor, but it does have one key distinction over the Reaper and A-Tross.

The BAR-A50 is available to all classes except for the light assault because it is a scout rifle. Both of the comparable assault rifles are only available to two classes, and one of them requires an A.S.P. certification.

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.
SCION X6 29 OR 30		The SCION X6 is the lowest range of any optic can still be considered a "sniper scope." The six times zoom depth provides flexibility at mid to long range.
THM-6 29 OR 30		This 6x thermal optic highlights enemy infantry and vehicles, allowing target differentiation even through smoke or in darkness.

Barrel
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.

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%.
Comfort Grip 49 OR 100		A comfort grip reduces the time it takes to swap to the weapon by 30%, reduces horizontal recoil by 20%, but increases vertical recoil by 20%.
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.
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
Heavy Magazine 99 OR 200		Increases magazine size by 5 rounds, but increases hipfire cone of fire by 20%.
