The NS-11A is an assault rifle produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Nanite Systems - 11A brings the tried and true Nanite Systems design philosophy to the assault rifle range. Though the weapon's middling damage-per-second leaves much to be desired, the gun more than makes up for it with otherwise excellent stats across the board.

With high accuracy and muzzle velocity plus low recoil, a gentle damage fall-off, and the elusive 0.75x ADS movement speed multiplier, not to mention the gun's fast reload speed, 35 round magazines, and wide array of attachment options, the NS-11A is surprisingly effective at all ranges despite the rifle's below average killing power.

Attachments

Attachments

Optic
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.
NiCO (1x) 49 OR 30		The Illuminated Combat Optic line of gunsights from Nanite Systems are praised for their ability to quickly acquire targets in close quarters combat situations. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.
NiCO XR (2x) 49 OR 30		Many soldiers choose Nanite Systems' popular Illuminated Combat Optic series over stock iron sights for superior target acquisition in both close quarters and low-light situations. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
LANS (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Nanite Systems' laser-assisted gunsight is perfect for situations that need a little more range than a standard reflex scope. The LANS uses a simple red dot reticule with 3.4x magnification.
NiSGO (3.4x) 49 OR 30		Nanite Systems launched the NiSGO gun optic much to the delight of designated marksmen across Auraxis. The NiSGO utilizes a triple chevron reticule with the 3.4x magnification.
Quadra (4x) 49 OR 30		For marksmen that prefer to not put themselves directly in the fray, the Nanite Systems Quadra scope allows users distance between themselves and their intended targets. The Quadra comes equipped with a simple crosshair at 4x magnification.
Tetra (4x) 49 OR 30		Nanite Systems' Tetra scope gives its users a significant advantage at target acquisition at mid to long ranges thanks to its triple chevron reticule and 4x 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.
Heavy Barrel 49 OR 100		A heavy barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 20% while aiming down sights, but reduces aim down sights movement speed by 20%.
Short Barrel 49 OR 100		This shortened barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 40% when firing from the hip, and increases vertical recoil by 20% while aiming down sights.
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
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.
Grenade Launcher 99 OR 200		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.
Laser Sight 49 OR 100		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.
Smoke Launcher 49 OR 100		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.

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%.

Damage Fall-off

_{Stats in yellow are with Soft Point Ammunition, and stats in orange are with High Velocity Ammunition.}

• 143 before 10 meters (15 meters) (8 meters)
• 125 after 65 meters (65 meters) (85 meters)

History

• Game Update Number 4
  • When set to semi-automatic, the crosshair for the NS-11A and NS-11P should no longer disappear
• Performance Update Number 2
  • Improved angle so initial burst is more accurate (no shots land on right side) and overall recoil is more controllable. (For NS-11A and NS-11C)
• October 30, 2014 Update
  • NS-11AG added (Gold version)
  • NS-11AB added (Black version)
• March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
  • Now has access to the Grenade Launcher, Smoke Launcher, Short Barrel, Heavy Barrel and Angled Grip.

Trivia

• The NS-11A's model was originally the New Conglomerate's main rifle early in the alpha build and was usable by the Light and Heavy Infantry classes.
• The Platinum variant has been available three times:
  • Until November 27, 2013, it was unlocked via the use of a regular Planetside 2 Game Card gift card purchased from U.S. Gamestop stores.
  • From June 21, 2014, it could be unlocked via the code "SummerReward". This code has since expired.
  • From Nov 11, 2014, until Dec 31, 2014, it came with an order of any SOE J!NX teeshirt.
• Unlike the majority of Assault Rifles and Carbines, the Arsenal Update did not remove the NS-11A and NS-11C's semi automatic fire mode.
  • This functionality is not available on the "Endeavor" variant.
