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

The Nanite Systems Export Tengu is a curious hybrid of a submachine gun and a shotgun. Though firing in full-auto with a relatively fast fire rate as any normal weapon would, the Tengu's shots release four pellets rather than a single bullet, limiting the Tengu's range but allowing it access to a rather lethal damage model for such a small platform.

The Tengu fires four pellets per shot, each dealing 50 damage within maximum range, allowing the Tengu to potentially deal 200 damage per shot. However, the weapon uses similar cone-of-fire and spread mechanics to any typical shotgun; the cone-of-fire dictates the center of the spread, and then the pellets are randomly spread around that point, decreasing the submachine gun's potency at range even more than other weapons of its class.

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.

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 10 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 4 rounds, and the weapon takes 15% longer to equip and unequip.
Hybrid Laser File:Hybrid Laser (NS).png 49 OR 100		The hybrid laser reduces the weapon's hipfire cone of fire by 33% and hipfire pellet spread by 33%.

Ammo
Soft Point Ammunition 49 OR 100		Soft Point Ammunition increases the weapon's maximum damage range by 5 meters, but reduces its projectile velocity by 10%.

Damage Fall-off

_{Stats in green are the weapon's damage assuming all pellets connect at the given range, and stats in yellow are the range with Soft Point Ammunition.}

• 50 before 6 meters (200) (11 meters)
• 42 at 26 meters (168) (28 meters)
• 36 after 40 meters (144) (40 meters)

History

• June 14, 2017 Hotfix
  • Magazine size from 18 to 20
  • Ammo capacity from 126 to 140
  • Hipfire Standing CoF from 1.75 to 1
  • Hipfire Crouching CoF from 1.75 to 1
  • Hipfire Walking CoF from 2 to 1.5
  • Hipfire Crouch Walking from 1.75 to 1.25
  • Hipfire pellet spread from 3.5 to 3
  • Hipfire CoF bloom from 0.14 to 0.07
  • Hybrid Laser Sight hipfire CoF and pellet spread reduction from -15% to -20%.
  • Suppressor velocity reduction from -35% to -20%.
  • Suppressor min-damage range reduction from -20m to -10m.
  • Dev note: While the aim down sights on this weapon is fairly competitive, the hipfire function was performing below expectations. Buffs to cone of fire attributes extend the range at which hipfire can be used, and the suppressor values now fall in line with that of other SMGs. Default magazine improvement of two rounds offers a bit more forgiveness against higher health targets, without stepping on the toes of other SMGs.
• June 29, 2017 Hotfix
  • NSX Tengu crouch-walking CoF from 1.5 to 1.75 (this fixes a bug where Tengu receive better-than-intended CoF while crouch-walking.)
  • NSX Tengu suppressor audio changed to more accurately match the weapon's rate of fire.
  • Fixed a bug where Tengu’s Hybrid Laser was not granting the pellet spread reduction.
• April 25, 2019 Update
  • Hybrid Laser attachment's hipfire pellet spread and cone of fire buff from 20% to 33%.
  • Magazine size from 20 to 22
  • Ammunition capacity from 140 to 176
  • Dev Note: These changes aim to make the Tengu more useable out of the box, and bring the Hybrid Laser attachment into more a more competitive position versus Extended Magazines.
• July 1, 2021 Update (_Integration)
  • Refire rate from 120ms to 117ms.
