NC6S Gauss SAW S | |||
The Gauss SAW S was designed as a more versatile alternative of the iconic Gauss SAW. It boasts faster reloads and more controllability at cost to rate of fire and magazine size. | |||

The NC6S Gauss SAW S is a light machine gun available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.
The NC6S Gauss Squad Automatic Weapon Select is a variant on the standard NC6 Gauss SAW. As compared to its parent weapon, the SAW S sacrifices rate-of-fire and base magazine size in exchange for increased controlability, a noticably faster reload speed, and an expanded attachment pool—with notable access to Extended Magazine that lets it exceed the standard variant's capacity by a good margin at the expense of occupying the rail attachment slot.

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. | ||||||
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. | ||||||
Extended Magazine 49 OR 100 | Doubles the amount of ammunition in each magazine, and the weapon takes 20% 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 | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
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%. |

History[]
- March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
- Max damage from 167@10m to 200@10m
- Min damage from 125@75m to 167@85m
- Refire rate from 104ms to 126ms
- Hipfire walk/stand/move starting CoF values increased by 0.25 (on par with the NC6 Gauss SAW.)
- Hipfire crouchwalk starting CoF increased by 0.5 (on par with the NC6 Gauss SAW.)
- ADS walk/stand starting CoF from 0.03 to 0.00 (on par with the NC6 Gauss SAW.)
- Projectile velocity from 630 to 580
- Hipfire CoF bloom from 0.12 to 0.14
- ADS CoF bloom from 0.06 to 0.07
- Dev Note: With there being as many flavors of 167 damage model weapons in the NC arsenal as there are, these changes provide a second 200 damage model option for LMGs. The Gauss SAW S mainly takes a small hit to refire rate and mag size for a faster reload and slightly more controllability.
- November 17, 2022 Update
- Min damage from 167@85m to 143@85m. Also applied to other Gauss SAW variants.
