The VX4-3 Slicer is an anti-materiel rifle available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

Vanu Labs' VX4-3 Slicer is the Vanu Sovereignty's unique anti-materiel rifle. It fires a crescent wave capable of penetrating an unlimited amount of infantry, before stopping on the first vehicle struck dealing moderate damage.

Unlike other anti-materiel rifles, the VX4-3 Slicer incurs a 0.3 second charge-up period after the trigger is pulled before a shot is fired.
