Nano Rifle(RFA)

This weapon was designed by Axel Capek for Ultor to fire nanites from the Nano Forge, or other, similar nanite producers, at a high rate of speed. Capek never used it himself, but Samanya reformatted the Nano-Forge to give it a near-everlasting ammo supply. Its rounds of nanite-infused casing completely obliterate any metal (and most flesh) they came into contact with thanks to the nanites constant, atomic nibbling.

The Nano Rifle is easily one of the best weapons available, capable of inflicting heavy damage on all enemies. Once you encounter it, always keep it with you. In fact, the Nano Rifle can even replace the Assault Rifle in your inventory. But despite its amazing power and versatility, the Nano Rifle does have a couple of significant drawbacks. Initially the Nano Rifle can only hold four rounds in its small magazine, requiring frequent reloads. You can increase the weapon's magazine capacity by purchasing the Extended Clips upgrade, but even this does little to reduce the number or reloads required in a frantic skirmish.

The nanites fired by the weapon can also inflict a substantial amount of collateral damage, potentially destroying structures. Watch your aim, particularly when firing the weapon around critical catwalks and bridges that you must cross. These drawbacks are minor when taken with the context of the weapon's power and relatively high rate of fire. It is a semi-automatic rifle, requiring you to squeeze the trigger with each shot. Although it has a limited magazine capacity, ammo is readily available for this weapon, so feel free to use it against all threats ranging from Creepers to Behemoths.
