U-ARX Dirac
Built to look like the standard U-100 to avoid suspicion from the management, the inner-workings of this weapon were completely overhauled for precision accuracy and enhanced power over distance.

The U-ARX Dirac is a sidearm available to Nanite Systems Operatives. It is unlocked upon completion of the Master Sidearms directive.

The U-ARX Dirac is an "auraxium" variant of the U-100 Lastly, sharing much of the same design. However, the Dirac places a much higher emphasis on the ranged power of its parent weapon—integrating a 3.4x scope into the pistol, greatly boosting the weapon's projectile velocity, and increasing minimum damage from 125 per shot to 143. These perks come at a sacrifice to both magazine size and reload speed, however.

Attachments

Attachments

Optic
ABLE 1.0 29 OR 30		The ABLE 1.0 uses a blue dot reflex for snappy target acquisition at close range. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
ABLE 2.0 29 OR 30		This enhanced ABLE optic increases zoom depth by up to two times, and uses a simple blue dot for close-mid range accuracy. More reticles for this sight available, see full article.
ABLE 3.4 YELLOW Built-in If no optic is chosen, this scope is attached. Alternate reticles are not available.		The ABLE 3.4x optic provides more zoom depth than a standard reflex, with a yellow wire reticle for mid-range precision.

Barrel
Compensator 49 OR 100		A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil by 30%, and increasing hipfire cone of fire by 15%. The added sound pressure causes the player to show on the minimap 35m farther away.
Flash Suppressor 49 OR 100		A flash suppressor makes the shooter less visible to the enemy, but increases the range at which you appear on enemy minimaps by 15 meters.
Suppressor 49 OR 100		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%.

Rail
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.
Extended Magazine 99 OR 200		Increases the amount of ammunition in each magazine by 4 rounds, and the weapon takes 15% longer to equip and unequip.
Laser Sight 49 OR 100		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.

This weapon does not have any ammo type attachments.

History

• July 1, 2021 Update (_Integration)
  • Added to the game.
• March 30, 2022 Update
  • Now has a 3.4x optic equipped by default.
  • Projectile velocity from 350 to 550.
  • Minimum damage from 125 to 143.
  • Dev Note: The changes here more effectively push the idea of a precise pistol that can function over range.

Trivia

• The U-ARX Dirac's name references Paul Dirac, an English theoretical physicist.
