The NSX Yawara is a pistol 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 Yawara is a variant of the NS-45 Pilot, sharing some of the same base stats. Though it inherits the same highly lethal damage model of the Pilot, the Yawara trades in the quick bursts for a slow fully-automatic firing mode instead.

Compared to the Pilot, the Yawara can fire fully-automatic, though the gun fires every 180ms, as opposed to the Pilot which fires every 80ms during each burst with a 250ms delay between them.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to the _Integration update, the NSX-A Yawara was the reward for the Master Sidearms directive for Nanite Systems Operatives.
    • It was replaced as the reward by the U-ARX Dirac during the update, although any operatives who earned the NSX-A Yawara before the patch kept it.
