Note:		Available only during St. Patrick's Day Event.

The TX2 Emperor is a pistol available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The TX2 Emperor appears as a more balanced take on a sidearm as compared to the TX1 Repeater. Though sharing the same magazine size as the Repeater, the Emperor has a far higher damage-per-magazine thanks to considerably higher damage-per-bullet, though at the expense of overall damage-per-second. The Emperor is also more accurate and reloads a fair amount faster.

With the Emperor's numerous differences to the Repeater in mind, it is fairer to compare it to the Beamer VS3. The Emperor has a larger magazine size, plus slightly improved performance at range thanks to one less tier of damage fall-off and higher muzzle velocity, though fires notably slower (400 RPM versus the Beamer's 451 RPM) and reloads a bit slower.

Damage Fall-off[]

167 before 15 meters
143 at 34 meters
125 at 49 meters
112 after 60 meters

Attachments[]

Available attachments

Optic
RTA Reflex Sight (1x)		The TR's Rapid Target Acquisition sight provides no magnification, but uses a clear red dot sight for close-combat situations. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.

100	149
MH2 Reflex Sight (2x)		The Terran MH2 features 2x magnification inside of a holographic red dot sight, giving it the advantage in urban combat situations. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.

100	149

Barrel
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	49

Rail
Darklight Flashlight		The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position.

100	49
Laser Sight		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.
