Attachments[]

Attachments
Optic
NiCO (1x)

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
The Illuminated Combat Optic line of gunsights from Nanite Systems are praised for their ability to quickly acquire targets in close quarters combat situations.
NiCO XR (2x)

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
Many soldiers choose Nanite Systems' popular Illuminated Combat Optic series over stock iron sights for superior target acquisition in both close quarters and low-light situations.
QUADRA (4x)

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
For marksmen that prefer to not put themselves directly in the fray, the Nanite Systems Quadra scope allows users distance between themselves and their intended targets. The Quadra comes equipped with a simple crosshair at 4x magnification.
Barrel
Compensator

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
A compensator redirects gases upward, reducing vertical recoil. The increased sound pressure will cause the player to show on the minimap from farther away, and increased weapon bulk reduces accuracy when firing from the hip.
Suppressor

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
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 meter sooner, and bullet velocity is reduced by 15%.
Rail
Darklight Flashlight

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
The rail mounted Darklight Flashlight can illuminate hostile cloaked infiltrators and dark areas but the light can give away your position.
Laser Sight

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.
Forward Grip

100 Certification Points OR 49 Daybreak Cash
A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%.
This weapon does not have access to ammo type attachments.
