The first of many adaptations to the Pulsar VS1, this burst-fire variant provides enhanced control at long range without compromising on stopping power.
The Pulsar Burst is a variant of the Pulsar VS1, equivalent to the Gauss Rifle Burst and T1B Cycler, being a modification of the standard issue assault rifle that sacrifices the typical full-automatic fire mode and some hip accuracy for heavily reduced recoil on a burst fire mode.
There is no enforced delay between bursts on the Pulsar Burst. If the user perfectly times their trigger pulls, the Pulsar Burst's maximum fire rate is indeed 698 RPM.
Like most dedicated burst weaponry, the Pulsar Burst enjoys reduced recoil on the first shot of each burst, where most automatics suffer increase recoil on that same first shot. Changing fire modes (B by default) to semi-automatic will return this recoil reduction to an increase, subjecting each of the weapon's shots to heavier recoil.
Designed as a replacement for standard iron sights in close-quarters combat, the Holo-Projected Reticle sight creates and accurate dot-and-circle reticle above the top rail. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
The revolutionary Vanu Holo-Optic reflex utilizes nanotechnology to project a circle and dot reticle. Additionally, it features a 2X magnitude zoom for better performance in urban combat scenarios. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
Created to better suit carbines and assault rifles for support roles, the OG-4's simple crosshair allows the user to make accurate shots at a distance. It uses 4x magnification perfect for mid-range fights.
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%.
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.
High Velocity Ammunition increases the weapon's projectile velocity by 10% and minimum damage range by 20 meters, but reduces the weapon's maximum damage range by 2 meters.
Damage Fall-off[]
Stats in orange are with High Velocity Ammunition.
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the Pulsar Burst. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the rifle. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.
Medals earned with the Pulsar Burst contribute towards the Assault Rifles directive tree.
Trivia[]
The Pulsar Burst, like the similarly named Pulsar C, Pulsar LSW, and Pulsar VS1, is named after the pulsar—a cosmological phenomenon in which a star rotating at immense speed emits electromagnetic radiation out of its poles, seen by observers as a beam.
Dev Note: The Equinox VE2 Burst is actually a burst-variant of the Pulsar VS1. Changing the naming convention to resolve this literally unplayable bug.
