The CME is designed as a dedicated long-range rifle. The weapon enjoys exceptionally low recoil—both vertical and horizontal—and one of the highest muzzle velocities of any automatic weapon, though sacrifices damage-per-second and hipfire accuracy for these benefits.
This rifle, unlike most other weapons, only has one tier of damage drop-off, further increasing the weapon's potency at longer ranges.
Designed as a replacement for standard iron sights in close-quarters combat, the Holo-Projected Reticle sight creates and accurate dot-and-circle reticle above the top rail. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
The revolutionary Vanu Holo-Optic reflex utilizes nanotechnology to project a circle and dot reticle. Additionally, it features a 2X magnitude zoom for better performance in urban combat scenarios. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
Created to better suit carbines and assault rifles for support roles, the OG-4's simple crosshair allows the user to make accurate shots at a distance. It uses 4x magnification perfect for mid-range fights.
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.
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%.
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.
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.
Damage Fall-off[]
Stats in orange are with High Velocity Ammunition.
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the CME. 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.
Dev Note: Removed much of the random deviation from this accuracy-focused weapon, elevating it to one of the most accurate assault rifles in the game.
Trivia[]
The most likely source of the CME's name is a 'coronal mass ejection', a violent release of plasma and magnetic disruption from a star often following a solar flare (a potential source of the Flare VE6's name).
