The NSX Daimyo is a sniper rifle produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Nanite Systems Export Daimyo is the manufacturer's offering for a 'close-range' sniper rifle, not unlike the Ghost, SAS-R, and TSAR-42. Setting the Daimyo apart from these options is the weapon's significant headshot multiplier, allowing a seemingly low damage weapon to nonetheless kill targets in one headshot, though that same low damage punishes the weapon heavily for bodyshots. In exchange, the Daimyo is semi-automatic, unlike the aforementioned bolt-action rifles, decreasing downtime and lowering the punishment for missing a shot.

Unlike most weapons, the NSX Daimyo includes an integrated 4x Scope with no options to decrease the magnification. In addition, the weapon's poor bodyshot damage and extremely unfavourable minimum hip cone-of-fire statistics heavily promote aimed usage, as the weapon demands headshots to succeed. And, though it may be semi-automatic, the Daimyo's recoil takes longer to start recovering than most weapons, which some users may find awkward when attempting to chain kills on several targets.

Damage Fall-off[]

The intermediate range listed is the range at which one headshot will no longer kill a standard infantry target.

  • 325 before 10 meters
  • 285 at 180 meters
  • 250 after 350 meters

Attachments[]

Attachments
Optic
Quadra (4x)

49 OR 30
For marksmen that prefer to not put themselves directly in the fray, the Nanite Systems Quadra scope allows users distance between themselves and their intended targets. The Quadra comes equipped with a simple crosshair at 4x magnification.
ACRA-4 (4x)

Built-in
If no optic is chosen, this scope is attached.
Nanite Systems' ACRA-4 has a 4x zoom range which provides the user with better clarity on mid-range targets.
Seer-6 (6x)

49 OR 30

Hold Sprint to steady aim.
DV6

49 OR 30
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.
Hepta (7x)

49 OR 30
The Hepta scope utilizes a more vertsatile 7x magnification that makes it a solid choice for both long and medium ranges.
Octal (8x)

49 OR 30
The Octal provides the shooter the ability the maintain a measure of their field of view without sacrificing their effectiveness at longer range.
Deca (10x)

49 OR 30
The Deca is well regarded among sharpshooters due to its ability to line up long range shots the most other scopes would find daunting.
DoDec (12x)

49 OR 30
NS designers created this long range scope to meet the demanding requirements of Auraxis' best long rnage snipers.
Barrel
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
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

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.

History[]

  • June 17, 2020 Update
    • Now appears in filters as a Sniper Rifle, instead of a Scout Rifle in marketplace filters.
    • Maximum damage from 225 to 325.
    • Minimum damage from 175 to 250.
    • Headshot multiplier from 5x to 3.5x
    • Dev Note: We're reducing the extremes between bodyshots and headshots a bit so the reliance on the Daimyo's unique headshot multiplier is lessened, though it will remain incapable of a 3 bodyshot kill at maximum damage range.
  • July 1, 2021 Update (_Integration)
    • Refire rate from 333ms to 667ms.
    • First shot recoil multiplier from 1 to 2.66.
  • March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
    • Anti-infantry sniper rifles now use a separate Sniper Rifles resistance (type 20).
    • Being struck by a sniper rifle now has more prominent audio.
    • Dev Note: The damage values for this new resistance are equivalent to small arms. This change will allow us to do is modify the bodyshot damage output from Nanoweave, as mentioned above.
    • Most Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Scout Rifles now use Comfort Grips, instead of Forward Grips.
    • Dev Note: Traditional Forward Grips offered no functional benefits to slow firing semi-auto weapons, so swapping them for Comfort Grips (which reduce the equip and unequip time of a weapon,) can be interpreted as a buff in almost all cases.
    • Now has access to the Flash Suppressor.
