The NS Decimator is a rocket launcher produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Decimator is an incredibly lethal dumbfire rocket launcher, capable of dealing amongst the highest explosive damage of any weapon available to infantry. Capable of killing standard infantry in one hit, or MAXes with two, other rocket launchers struggle to find equal with the Decimator's raw up-front damage.

However, this considerable potency comes at the expense of both velocity and reload speed, constraining the Decimator's ranged effectiveness and its damage over a sustained period of time, with seemingly weaker rocket launchers able to beat out the weapon in extended engagements.
