The NS-45 Pilot 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 - 45 Pilot is a burst pistol with a higher caliber round. Capable of dealing up to 200 damage-per-shot over a three round burst, the Pilot is the only pistol capable of killing a standard infantryman in one pull of the trigger, though asking perhaps higher skill and/or luck from the user to pull off thanks to the demand for three consecutive headshots to do so.

Barrel
Compensator

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.
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.
Extended Magazine

49 OR 100
Increases the amount of ammunition in each magazine by 3 rounds rounds, and the weapon takes 15% longer to equip and unequip.
Laser Sight

49 OR 100
A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.
