The NC's A-Tross was created as the ultimate in heavy-hitting, long range assault rifles. Featuring a 30-round magazine and an overclocked propulsion coil firing a high-damage projectile, the A-Tross can drop targets at even distant ranges.
The NC9 A-Tross appears to draw a lot of inspiration from the NC6 Gauss SAW, sharing a lot of the weapon's iconic features; an incredibly high caliber round, strong vertical recoil but weak horizontal recoil, and incredibly potent ranged performance. To fit the assault rifle package, though, the A-Tross's magazine is a small 30 rounds, and the weapon reloads far faster, though the A-Tross also sacrifices fire rate for this feat.
The NC9 A-Tross's competition in the NC arsenal can be found in the form of the Reaper DMR, which similarly fires the same devastatingly large calibre but sacrifices magazine size and recoils slightly harder vertically in for the privilege of a quick reload and faster, 500 RPM rate-of-fire.
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.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Damage Fall-off[]
Damage drop-off is linear. Stats in orange are with High Velocity Ammunition.
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the NC9 A-Tross. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the rifle. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
