The MG-S1 Jackal is a submachine gun available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.
The MG-S1 Jackal is a submachine gun released alongside the 
MGR-S1 Gladius and 
VE-S Canis as part of a series of empire specific weapons each breaking the convention of that faction's SMGs and bringing unique attachments to table. For the Jackal, this attachment is the BX Adapter, and its higher damage-per-bullet.
Compared to other submachine guns available to the Terran Republic, the Jackal is far more accurate and deals much higher damage per bullet at most ranges, though sacrifices a significant amount of fire rate for these perks. The Jackal, in this sense, is more comparable to the AF-4 Cyclone.
The MG-S1 Jackal, alongside the MGR-S1 Gladius and VE-S Canis, is part of the so-called 'third generation' of submachine guns, as the three were the third wave of faction-specific weapons to be released in the class.

History[]
- December 7, 2017 Update
- Added to the live game.
- February 8, 2018 Update
- Base projectile velocity from 350 to 400.
- Suppressed audio now uses the correct rate of fire.
- BX Adapter icon changed.
- BX Adapter received an updated tooltip.
- BX Adapter no longer reduces ammo capacity.
- BX Adapter reload speed from 2.25sec./2.92sec. to 2sec./2.6sec. (Same as the default reload.)
- BX Adapter can no longer be equipped at the same time as the Hybrid Suppressor.
- Dev Note: We decided to keep the BX Adapter a niche attachment while fixing some quality of life issues it created. The velocity increase helps the weapon play more nicely with Hybrid Suppressor, and complements the accuracy focus of the base weapon.
- March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
- BX Adapter no longer reduces magazine size, and uses the existing weapon ammo pool.
- BX Adapter now consumes two rounds per shot.
- BX Adapter's refire rate from 60ms to 80ms.
- BX Adapter no longer prevents rail slot items from being equipped.
- Dev Note: These changes increase the usefulness of the BX Adapter in far more situations, and prevent it from harming the base usefulness of the weapon as it had before.
Trivia[]
- MG-S1 Jackal model was designed by Player Studio artist «d0ku», as part of a 3 new sets of Empire Specific weapon models.
