NS Viscount G6
The heavily modified Viscount has a built-in suppressor which would normally render it illegal under Terran Republic law, but being built atop the Baron shotgun platform, most judicators look the other way.

The NS Viscount G6 is a shotgun produced by Nanite Systems, available to all factions. It is unlocked through purchase with A7 from the Black Market aboard Sanctuary.

The NS Viscount G6 is a simple variant of the NS Baron G5—in exchange for a harsh drop in muzzle velocity, a five meter reduction of its maximum damage range, and a 5% reduction to rate-of-fire, the Viscount features an built-in Suppressor and Extended Magazine.

Attachments

Attachments

Optic
HS/NV Scope (1x) 19 OR 25		Nanite Systems' HS/NV scope has no magnification, but provides high contrast outlines to nearby objects and illuminates nearby soldiers.
CCLR (1x) 19 OR 25		The Combat Clarity reflex sight allows for quick target acquisition with a lighter housing than earlier generation Nanite Systems reflex optics.
ACRA (3.4x) 19 OR 25		Nanite Systems' refined ACRA 3.4x zoom optic provide the user with better clarity on mid-range targets.

Rail
Comfort Grip 49 OR 100		A comfort grip reduces the time it takes to swap to the weapon by 30%, reduces horizontal recoil by 20%, but increases vertical recoil by 20%.
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.
MPL 49 OR 100		The mobile prediction laser reduces vertical and horizontal recoil when fired from the hip by 60%.

Ammo
Flechette Ammunition 49 OR 100		Replaces the standard buckshot with dart-like flechettes that triple the maximum and minimum damage range, but reduces the number of pellets fired per shot by 1.
Slug Ammunition 49 OR 100		The weapon now fires an accurate, high-velocity slug dealing 450 damage, fall off to 300 at the weapon's minimum damage range.

This weapon does not have any barrel type attachments.

History

• July 1, 2021 Update (_Integration)
  • Added to the game.
• July 28, 2021 Hotfix
  • Fixed an issue with the NS Viscount G6 shotgun not hitting targets at very close range with hipfire.
• March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
  • All Black Market weapons are now purchasable with Daybreak Cash, as an alternative to the normal A7 currency costs.
  • Starting CoF for all shotguns is now 0.15 in all non-jumping/sprinting/falling movement states.
  • Pellet spread values while aiming and firing from the hip have been standardized using the wider hipfire values.
  • Cone of fire now blooms per shot by 0.3 from the hip, and 0.15 while aiming.
  • Dev Note: The above changes aim to reduce the inconsistency and frustration of using these weapons, which was mainly caused by cone of fire spread stacked on top of the pellet spread. These changes are important when the new attachments and updated attachments come into play.
  • Now has access to the Darklight Flashlight, MPL and Flechette Ammunition.
