XMG-ARX Galilei

Despite constant reminders that tampering with equipment is against corporate policy, overclocking the XMG-100's trigger system to enable higher fire rates became a common, if frowned upon practice for field operatives.

The XMG-ARX Galilei is a light machine gun available to Nanite Systems Operatives. It is unlocked upon completion of the Master Light Machine Guns directive.

The XMG-ARX Galilei is an "auraxium" variant of the XMG-100, sharing much of the same design philosophy. The Galilei has three key differences to its predecessor—it fires at 750 rounds-per-minute, as opposed to 714, the maximum damage range is five meters shorter, and the Galilei's magazine only holds 50 rounds, rather than 80, though with a faster reload speed to compensate.

Attachments[]

Attachments

Optic
THM-1 29 OR 30		This low-range thermal optic highlights enemy infantry and vehicles, allowing target differentiation even through smoke or in darkness.
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 29 OR 30		The ABLE 3.4x optic provides more zoom depth than a standard reflex, with a blue dot reticle for mid-range engagements. More reticles for this scope available, see full article.

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.
Short Barrel 49 OR 100		This shortened barrel reduces cone of fire bloom by 40% when firing from the hip, and increases vertical recoil by 20% while aiming down sights.

Rail
Angled Forward Grip 49 OR 100		An angled forward grip reduces the vertical recoil of the first shot in a burst by 60%, but increase the side to side recoil of a weapon by 10%.
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 50%, and the weapon takes 15% longer to equip and unequip.
Forward Grip 49 OR 100		A forward grip increases control of the weapon, reducing horizontal recoil by 25%, but increases equip time by 0.15 sec.
Laser Sight 49 OR 100		A laser sight increases the user's hipfire accuracy by 33%.

Ammo
High Velocity Ammunition 49 OR 100		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.
Soft Point Ammunition 49 OR 100		Soft Point Ammunition increases the weapon's maximum damage range by 5 meters, but reduces its projectile velocity by 10%.

Damage Fall-off[]

143 before 10 meters (15 meters) (8 meters)
125 at 47 meters (49 meters) (58 meters)
112 after 75 meters (75 meters) (95 meters)

History[]

July 1, 2021 Update (_Integration)
- Added to the game.
March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
- Enabled attachment customization on all applicable directive reward weapons.
- Directive weapons can now be used with the Advanced Specialization Program.
  - Dev Note: The changes above allow for customization of the weapons you've spent hundreds of hours working toward, and also factor into the subsequent balance adjustments that are made in each faction's weapon balance sections further down.
- Long reload from 4.9sec. to 4.25sec.
- Short reload from 4.5sec. to 3.85sec.
- Dev Note: Increased reload speed makes this weapon a bit more functional, and this weapon can equip extended magazines to push the reload economy even further.

Trivia[]

The XMG-ARX Galilei's name references Galileo Galilei—an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer.
