Strategy[]

The Nightshade is a close to medium ranged weapon that combines a submachine gun's fire rate with an assault rifle's range, granting it a remarkable versatility and effectiveness at engagements on these distances. Upgrading this weapon will expand its magazine size significantly, necessary due to its fire rate; will greatly improve its accuracy by reducing the reticle bloom; and will also increase its range, making the weapon excels even more at medium distances.

Trivia[]

  • The Nightshade seems to be modeled after the real-life TAR-21, but with a modernized aspect and integral supressor.
  • The Nightshade, along with the LMP-X, are the only primary weapons in the game to have 3 different users by default, instead of the usual 2. When first released, it was only part of Vy's loadout.
  • The Nightshade is the fastest firing assault rifle, being even faster than the Knight SMG. However, it has also the lowest range of its weapon class.
