Note:		Available as part of Eighth Anniversary Bundle.

The NS-357 Underboss is a pistol produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Nanite Systems - 357 Underboss serves as a side-grade to its bigger brother, the NS-44 Commissioner. The Underboss, though still packing a relatively large round in relation to most pistols, deals a bit less damage than the Commissioner in exchange for a notably faster fire rate, making it a more forgiving option.

Compared to its aforementioned big brother, the NS-44 Commissioner, the Underboss has a visibly faster fire rate (220 RPM as opposed to 170 RPM) and reloads a half second faster, though deals noticeably less damage per shot, hitting for 375 damage (750 on a headshot) as opposed to the Commissioner's potential of dealing up to 450 damage (900/headshot).

Damage Fall-off

• 375 before 8 meters
• 334 at 16 meters
• 250 at 32 meters
• 200 after 42 meters

Trivia

• The long reload penalty previously occurred if three or more shots were fired, and the animation for opening both sides of the cylinder was needed. It has since been patched so the reload delay only happens if the gun is fully emptied, even if the animation for both sides of the revolver opening plays.
