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.

Optic
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.

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.
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%.

  • It was replaced in this role by the U-100 Lastly during the update, although any operatives created before the patch retained the Pilot as a free unlock.
