The MGR-A1 Vanquisher is an assault rifle available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Modular Gauss Rifle - Assault 1 Vanquisher is an assault rifle released alongside the MG-A1 Arbalest and VE-A1 Lacerta as part of a series of empire specific weapons designed to bring interesting mechanics to the lineup, alongside unique attachments.

Much like the contemporary VE-A1 Lacerta, the Vanquisher unleashes a devastating 3-round burst of high calibre rounds with very little recoil on the first two shots, followed by a refire delay of 0.2 seconds. In keeping with New Conglomerate weapon design, it hits harder but slower than the Lacerta during its burst. Relative to similar weapons available to a NC medics, it trades what little leeway the Reaper DMR and NC9 A-Tross had in close quarters for its very favorable recoil pattern at a distance. Players who are skilled at tracking targets may be able to use it to similar effect as a bolt-action rifle. With good aim and a substantial degree of luck, it is possible to bring most infantry from 1000 to 0 health by landing all three shots of a burst on a target's head at any range.

Players familiar with Terran Republic Infiltrator weapons may find it comparable to the TRAP-M1. However, it exchanges an extended maximum damage range for a more controlled 3 round burst and it lacks attachment options tailored towards infiltrators, such as a sound suppressor or a scope with more than 4x magnification. It was also the first weapon to host the Disruptor Ammunition and Sabot Ammunition ammo types.

Attachments[]

Attachments

Optic
Nx1 (1x) 49 OR 30		RNGTEK's Nx1 nightvision optic provides an advantage in low-light conditions, illuminating nearby targets.
Rx1 (1x) 29 OR 30		RNGTEK's open reflex design allows for clearer target viewing than traditional ironsights. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
Rx2 (2x) 29 OR 30		This RNGTEK reflex sight has increased magnification for detailed target acquisition. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
Ax3 (3.4x) 29 OR 30		Fitted with 3.4x magnification, the Ax3 optic excels at mid-range target acquisition. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.
Ax4 (4x) 29 OR 30		Built on the Ax3 model, the Ax4 increases the magnification level to 4x, for deeper target acquisition range. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.

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.

Rail
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.
Extended Magazine 49 OR 100		Increases the amount of ammunition in each magazine by 6 rounds, and the weapon takes 15% longer to equip and unequip.
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
Disruptor Ammunition 49 OR 100		Converts 20% of your weapon's total damage into a disrupting pulse that drains 0.4% of a target's maximum shield health and ability energy for every point of weapon damage converted.
Sabot Ammunition 49 OR 100		Bullets will now pierce through one infantry target before stopping, but reduces rate of fire by 10%.
