The EM4 Longshot is a sniper rifle available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.
The Esamir Munitions 4 Longshot is the heaviest hitter in the long-range sniper rifle line-up. It suffers with the slowest chamber time and longest reload speed on the market, without bringing an increased ammo capacity as the LA80 does, but chooses instead to provide incredible ranged power through both the highest muzzle velocity and highest damage of any long range rifle.
As with most bolt-action sniper rifles, the EM4 Longshot deals 210% damage on a headshot, rather than only 200%, increasing the range at which the rifle is able to kill standard infantry with one headshot.
The EM4 Longshot, Parallax VX3, and RAMS .50M are statistically identical.
Damage Fall-Off[]
The two intermediate ranges listed are the ranges at which two bodyshots or one headshot, respectively, no longer kill a standard infantry target.
- 700 before 10 meters
- 500 at 270 meters
- 477 at 300 meters
- 400 after 400 meters

History[]
- March 30, 2022 Update (The Arsenal Update)
- Anti-infantry sniper rifles now use a separate Sniper Rifles resistance (type 20).
- Being struck by a sniper rifle now has more prominent audio.
- Dev Note: The damage values for this new resistance are equivalent to small arms. This change will allow us to do is modify the bodyshot damage output from Nanoweave, as mentioned above.
- Most Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Scout Rifles now use Comfort Grips, instead of Forward Grips.
- Dev Note: Traditional Forward Grips offered no functional benefits to slow firing semi-auto weapons, so swapping them for Comfort Grips (which reduce the equip and unequip time of a weapon,) can be interpreted as a buff in almost all cases.
- Short reload from 4.72sec. to 3.86sec.
- Long reload from 6.575sec. to 5sec.
