The KSR-35 is a sniper rifle available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Kashmir Sniper Rifle - 35 is a mid-range sniper rifle, most comparable to the 99SV. This rifle sacrifices access to high-magnification optics—including the typically built-in 6x Scope—to instead mount low-magnification sights. In exchange, however, the KSR-35 is considerably hampered at longer ranges—with lower velocity, noticeably harsher damage fall-off, and worse bloom while aimed.

The KSR-35 and Icon NC Impetus are statistically identical weapons, although the Vanu equivalent in the Icon VS Phantom VA23 deviates quite significantly in ballistics and ranged performance.

History[]

  • November 18, 2016 Hotfix
    • Recoil recovery delay from 0ms to -130ms
  • 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.
    • Max damage range from 10m to 15m
    • ADS starting CoF while moving from 0.55 to 0.25
    • ADS CoF bloom from 0.8 to 0.2
    • Dev Note: These changes make the progression from scout rifle to semi-auto sniper a bit more apparent as semi-auto snipers in general are made more useful.
    • Now has access to the Weighted Receiver.
