If its AI then the damage tier will be 200 and the ROF will be lower than that of a battle rifle. It might be a basilisk equivaldnt which would have very low dps against infantry.
I think that will be its thing if its AI. Better accuracy at range than the rest and lower dps. And the 200 damage for being different. The rof might be as low as 200. Compare that to a SASR which rof is 231.
Who said that? So far NS infantry weapons have not been known for a high damage tier model, instead focusing on mobility/accuracy etc. If the design philosophy behind NS stays the same for MAXes, it will probably be 143 dmg tier.
Its the damage tier not found amoong max weapons so it fits ti havw it. Also its a heavy machine cun rather than rwgular light machine cun so higher damage suit s it.
Since theres nothing more than a picture now... i kinda doubt well see it The team got chopped so new stuff will be scarce :<
