Note:		Available for a short time with "PS2WelcomeBack" code.

The NSX Tanto is a common pool Carbine, from Nanite Systems Export series, specialized for excellent initial accuracy from the hip. This functionality gives the Tanto the ability to fight up close or at range while maintaining a substantial mobility advantage for experienced shooters. Firing in short bursts is recommended, due to high CoF bloom during sustained fire.

This weapon makes an exception to the unique ability of Carbines, losing some of it's initial accuracy whilst airborne.

Damage with Range:

143 @ 10 meters

125 @ 39 meters

112 @ 60 meters

Attachments

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 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 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 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 6. 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. 100 75

History

• June 17, 2020 Update
  • Hipfire cone of fire bloom from 0.24 to 0.12.
  • Dev Note: The excessive hipfire penalty on the Tanto was originally meant to offset its higher-than-normal starting accuracy, but we've peeled that penalty back as it has enough counterbalances elsewhere.
