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

The Gauss Rifle S is a variant of the NC1 Gauss Rifle, equivalent to the Equinox VE2 and T1S Cycler, being a modification of the standard issue assault rifle that gains access to a large variety of attachments in exchange for small adjustments to some statistics.

In exchange for its increased attachment variety and a slightly faster short and long reload, the Gauss Rifle S has a decreased fire rate and an increase in vertical recoil compared to the NC1 Gauss Rifle.

Attachments

Attachments

Optic
HS/NV Scope (1x) 49 OR 30		Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.
TekLyte Reflex (1x) 49 OR 30		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.
GD RefleXR (2x) 49 OR 30		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.
LX Tacti-Eye (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Featuring 3.4x magnification and a simple crosshair, OcuLuxx's Tacti-Eye owes its success to its simplicity and ease of use.
LACO (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Utilizing a holographic red dot and 3.4x magnification, the NC's Laser-Assisted Combat Optics has significant flexibility over other mid-range scopes.
TrueShot (4x) 49 OR 30		The TrueShot makes use of a simple crosshair and 4x magnification. Its lightweight 'box' housing obscures less than typical scopes of its class.
LX Mark IV (4x) 49 OR 30		OcuLuxx's sturdy Mark IV scope features 4x magnification and a triple chevron reticle, allowing the user to compensate for bullet drop.
BDS (6x) 49 OR 30		The New Conglomerate's versatile Bold Driver Standard uses a mil-dot reticle and 6x magnification.

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.
Heavy Barrel 49 OR 100		A heavy barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 20% while aiming down sights, but reduces aim down sights movement speed by 20%.
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.
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.
Grenade Launcher 49 OR 100		A single-shot grenade launcher attachment; increases the equip time of the attached weapon by 0.25 seconds. Pressing Gear Slot 1 hotkey will toggle the attachment.
Laser Sight 49 OR 100		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.
Smoke Launcher 49 OR 100		Underbarrel smoke grenade launcher attachment; increases the equip time of the attached weapon by 0.25 seconds. Pressing Gear Slot 1 hotkey will toggle the attachment.
Underbarrel Shotgun 49 OR 100		A single-shot shotgun round attachment; increases the equip time of the attached weapon by 0.25 seconds. Pressing Gear Slot 1 hotkey will toggle the attachment.

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

_{Damage drop-off is linear. Stats in yellow are with Soft Point Ammunition, and stats in orange are with High Velocity Ammunition.}

• 167 before 10 meters (15 meters) (8 meters)
• 143 at 55 meters (57 meters) (66 meters)
• 125 after 90 meters (90 meters) (110 meters)
