The NSX Naginata is a Common Pool Light Machine Gun from Nanite Systems Export series.

The Naginata has special Cone of Fire mechanics that allow it to remain more accurate over sustained fire versus other LMGs. While stationary, the Naginata has a maximum CoF of 0.6, and while crouching and still, 0.4. In practical terms, the Naginata will only bloom (become less accurate) for the first 8 shots while standing and stationary, and the first 5 shots while crouching and stationary. Then the CoF "locks" and will not grow any larger. For comparison, a CoF of 0.6 is slightly smaller than the NS-7 PDW's hipfire CoF while using a laser sight (0.66).

A valuable benefit to this mechanic is that by briefly standing still, you can reset your CoF to 0.6. So you can shoot and strafe for the first 8 shots, stand still, let the CoF reset, and keep shooting. It wont be accurate enough at long range, but for engagements within 20m 0.6 is enough to land consistent headshots.

AttachmentsEdit

Available attachments

Optics
HS/NV Scope (1x)		Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.

30	50
NiCO (1x)		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.

30	50
NiCO XR (2x)		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 scope available, see full article.

30	50
NiSGO (3.4x)		Nanite Systems launched the NiSGO gun optic much to the delight of designated marksmen across Auraxis. The NiSGO utilize a triple chevron reticule with 3.4x magnification.

30	50
LANS (3.4x)		Nanite Systems' laser-assisted gunsight is perfect for situations that need a little more range than a standard reflex scope. The LANS uses a simple red dot reticule with 3.4x magnification.

30	50
Quadra (4x)		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.

30	50
Tetra (4x)		Nanite Systems' Tetra scope gives its users a significant advantage at target acquisition at mid to long ranges thanks to its triple chevron reticule and 4x magnification.

Barrel Attachments
Suppressor		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%.

100	75
Flash Suppressor		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.

100	75
Compensator		A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil. The increased sound pressure will cause the player to show on the minimap from farther away, and increased weapon bulk reduces accuracy when firing from the hip.

100	75

Rail Attachments
Darklight Flashlight		The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position.

100	75
Laser Sight		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.

100	75
Laser Sight		The white laser sight increases accuracy when firing from the hip.

299
Laser Sight		The gold laser sight increases accuracy when firing from the hip.

299
Laser Sight		The pink laser sight increases accuracy when firing from the hip.

299
Forward Grip		A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%.

100	75
Extended Magazine		Increases the available ammunition per magazine by 50%.

100	75

Ammo
Soft Point Ammunition		Soft Point Ammunition increases the weapon's maximum damage range by 5 meters, but reduces its projectile velocity by 10%.

100	75
High Velocity Ammunition		High Velocity Ammunition increases the weapon's projectile velocity by 10% and minimum damage range by 20 meters, but reduces the weapon's maximum damage range by 2 meters.

RibbonsEdit

Ribbon	Icon	Requirements
NSX Naginata Service Ribbon		10 kills.

See more available ribbons on the Service Ribbons page.

MedalsEdit

Medal	Requirements	Certification Rewards

Copper Medal	10 kills	2
Silver Medal	60 kills	10
Gold Medal	160 kills	20
Auraxium Medal	1160 kills	200

History Edit

November 18, 2016 Hotfix
- Short reload from 2.8sec. to 3.2sec.
- Long reload from 4sec. from 4.4sec.
April 25, 2019 Update
- Vertical recoil min from 0.6 to 0.4
- Vertical recoil max from 0.8 to 0.6
- Dev Note: The adjustment to vertical recoil here increases accuracy of both first shot and sustained fire, and makes the recoil easier to compensate for.
