NSX Sesshin
The NSX Sesshin was intended as a multi-class platform that filled an aggressive, mid-long range combat role, though it was eventually set aside as company resources shifted in favor of developing the Daimyo and Tomoe.

The NSX Sesshin is a scout rifle produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with A7 from the Black Market aboard Sanctuary.

The Nanite Systems Export Sesshin is a variant of the NSX Tomoe, sharing the same design philosophy. Though it shares the same overwhelming focus on headshots, it lowers the rate-of-fire and increases the damage-per-shot of the weapon while retaining the exact same recoil values and improving the weapon's hip bloom, though slightly increasing the reload time.

Attachments[]

Optic
HS/NV Scope (1x)

49 OR 30
Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.
CCLR (1x)

49 OR 30
The Combat Clarity reflex sight allows for quick target acquisition with a lighter housing than earlier generation Nanite Systems reflex optics.
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.
ACRA (3.4x)

49 OR 30
Nanite Systems' refined ACRA 3.4x zoom optic provides the user with better clarity on mid-range targets.
LANS (3.4x)

49 OR 30
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.
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.
Tetra (4x)

49 OR 30
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.
Seer-6 (6x)

49 OR 30
The Seer-6 is an elegant take on older 6x optics, and is custom fitted specifically for use with the Nanite Systems Export series weaponry.
Hold Sprint to steady aim.
NSX-DV6 (6x)

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.
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
Angled Forward Grip

49 OR 100
An angled forward grip reduces the vertical recoil of the first shot in a burst by 60%, but increase the side to side recoil of a weapon by 10%.
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 2 rounds, and the weapon takes 15% longer to equip and unequip.
Forward Grip

49 OR 100
A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%, but increases equip time by 0.15 sec.
Laser Sight

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

49 OR 100
Increases magazine size by 2 rounds, but increases hipfire cone of fire by 20%.
