The Gauss Rifle Burst is an assault rifle available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Gauss Rifle Burst is a variant of the NC1 Gauss Rifle, equivalent to the T1B Cycler and Equinox VE2 Burst, being a modification of the standard issue assault rifle that sacrifices the typical full-automatic fire mode for heavily reduced recoil on a burst fire mode.

There is no enforced delay between bursts on the Gauss Rifle Burst. If the user perfectly times their trigger pulls, the Gauss Rifle Burst's maximum fire rate is indeed 600 RPM.

Like most dedicated burst weaponry, the Gauss Rifle Burst enjoys reduced recoil on the first shot of each burst, where most automatics suffer increase recoil on that same first shot. Changing fire modes (B by default) to semi-automatic will return this recoil reduction to an increase, subjecting each of the weapon's shots to heavier recoil.

Optic
HS/NV Scope (1x)		Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.

30	49
TekLyte Reflex (1x)		TekLyte's standard reflex sight allows for superior close-range target acquisition over traditional iron sights. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.

30	49
GD RefleXR (2x)		The RefleXR from Genudine Dynamics includes 2x magnification, making it the preferred sight for urban combat scenarios. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.

Barrel
Flash Suppressor		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.

100	49
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	49

Rail
Darklight Flashlight		The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position.

100	49
Forward Grip		A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%. For details on equip time penalties, see main article.

100	49
Laser Sight		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.

100	49

Ammo
High Velocity Ammunition		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.
