The MG-HBR1 Dragoon is a scout rifle available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The MG-HBR1 Dragoon is a scout rifle released alongside the MGR-M1 Bishop and VE-LR Obelisk as part of a new series of empire specific weapons. Each seeks to add fresh flavour to the neglected scout rifle selection, providing a highly accurate long-range platform with access to unique attachments and mechanics. For the Dragoon, this is the fully-automatic fire mode and Explosive Ammunition, alongside Heavy Magazine and Single-Fire Barrel.

The Dragoon is unique amongst scout rifles, providing a full-auto fire mode in a typically single-fire line-up of weaponry. This allows easier use at closer ranges, allowing the user to always reach the maximum potential rate-of-fire which would require skilled trigger timing otherwise. The Dragoon can also use the single-fire barrel attachment to lose this benefit, however making it even more accurate than the other new scout rifles.

Additionally, compared to MGR-M1 Bishop and VE-LR Obelisk, the Dragoon has a slightly faster fire rate.

Attachments[]

Attachments

Optic
TSO-IRNV (1x) 49 OR 30		This Terran field optic has no magnification, and highlights nearby vehicles and infantry by using infrared signatures. It's used primarily at medium-close range in low-light conditions.
TSO-1 (1x) 29 OR 30		Crafted specifically for TR's Trident arsenal, the TSO-1 provides a clear reflex optic for close-range shooting. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.
TSO-2 (2x) 29 OR 30		The TSO-2 provides a slight magnification boost to extend a shooter's target acquisition beyond close range. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.
TSO-3.4 (3.4x) 29 OR 30		This 3.4x magnification variant of Trident's specialty optics extends the shooter's precision well past mid-range. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.
TSO-4 (4x) 29 OR 30		The TSO-4's 4x magnification allows the operator to engage targets at mid to long-range. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.
Red-Eye (6x) 29 OR 30		The Red-eye's 6x zoom allows for precision aim during long-range engagements.

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.
Single-Fire Barrel 99 OR 200		Vertical recoil is reduced by 20%, and the weapon becomes semi-automatic, allowing for ease of handling at longer ranges.

Rail
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
Explosive Ammunition 99 OR 200		Explosive Ammunition reduces the weapon's direct damage by 125, and adds 100 splash damage over 2 meters. For full details, see main article.
Heavy Magazine 49 OR 100		Increases magazine size by 3 rounds, but increases hipfire cone of fire by 20%.
