Heavy modification to this NS-30 Vandal has made it capable of firing vials of Manticore ammunition that slow infantry movement on impact. With less stopping power than the original Vandal, and requiring ammunition worth more than the weapon itself, this weapon's modifications are seen more as a novelty for those with gilded tastes.
The Nanite Systems - 30 Tranquility is a variant of the NS-30 Vandal. Featuring an integrated suppressor that paradoxically increases muzzle velocity, the Tranquility is more effective at range whilst also being stealthier. Uniquely, the weapon fires lower-damage slugs that slow the movement speed of targets they hit. Aside from the lowered damage, the Tranquility also has a smaller magazine than the Vandal, and a slower fire rate.
Targets hit by rounds from the NS-30 Tranquility have their movement speed slowed by 20% for a few seconds. Subsequent shots or shots from other Tranquility users will not increase the potency of the slow, only resetting the duration.
The Deep Vision 6x scope highlights targets in infrared beyond ranges of normal infantry optics, though target acquisition is significantly slower. Hold Sprint to steady aim.
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.
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the NS-30 Tranquility. 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.
