The powerful Parallax VX3 sniper rifle's heavy-hitting, high velocity plasma projectiles allow for easy long distance shots.

The Parallax is arguably the most powerful VS long range sniper rifle, comparable to the V10 and the XM98. The Parallax has a faster velocity and does more damage than both of these rifles, while the V10 has a faster reload speed and is more accurate.

When it comes down to it, the Parallax is better than the V10, but because of the larger price gap, the XM98 is preferred for beginners.

Damage with Range:

700 @ 10 meters

500 @ 270 meters

477 @ 300 meters ( End of OneShot range if Head shot )

400 @ 400 meters

AttachmentsEdit

Available attachments

Optics TSO (7x) The 7x magnification on the TSO gives it an edge over the typical standard-issue sniper optics. It uses mil-dot sighting inside of its triangular body. 30 50 TriGon-8 (8x) Designed as a longer range option to the standard TriGon, the TG-8 features increased 8x magnification and mil-dot sighting. 30 50 Mach-10 (10x) The Mach-10 scope was designed by the Vanu Sovereignty's internal AdvMat labs. It possesses 10x magnification and mil-dot sighting inside of its circular housing. 30 50 Mach-12 (12x) Created by the VS's AdvMat labs, the Mach-12's extreme 12x magnification and mil-dot sighting provides the user with clear shots at distant targets. 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 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 Straight-pull Bolt The straight-pull bolt allows the sniper to chamber another round while aiming down sights. 100 75 Forward Grip A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%. 100 75 Ammo No Ammo available.
