NS-30 Tranquility
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 NS-30 Tranquility is a scout rifle produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with A7 from the Black Market aboard Sanctuary.

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.

Attachments

Optic
HS/NV Scope (1x) 19 OR 25		Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.
CCLR (1x) 19 OR 25		The Combat Clarity reflex sight allows for quick target acquisition with a lighter housing than earlier generation Nanite Systems reflex optics.
ACRA (3.4x) 19 OR 25		Nanite Systems' refined ACRA 3.4x zoom optic provide the user with better clarity on mid-range targets.
Seer-6 (6x) 19 OR 25		The Seer-6 is an elegant take on older 6x optics, and is custom fitted specifically for use with the Nanite Systems Export series weaponry.
DV6 (6x) 19 OR 25		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.

Rail
Comfort Grip 49 OR 100		A comfort grip reduces the time it takes to swap to the weapon by 30%, reduces horizontal recoil by 20%, but increases vertical recoil by 20%.
Darklight Flashlight 29 OR 50		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.
Laser Sight 29 OR 50		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.

Ammo
Heavy Magazine 49 OR 100		Increases magazine size by 5 rounds, but increases hipfire cone of fire by 20%.
