Special Features:
- The OS-109A “Fate” Sniper Variant comes with 2 modes of fire:
- o Regular strength bolt – semi-automatic – Each time the trigger is depressed, a single blaster bolt is fired.
- o Super-charged bolt – semi-automatic – When the trigger is depressed, a single super-charged blaster bolt is fired. The bolt fired from this setting is highly powerful for a weapon of this class and has considerable stopping power. The trade off to using this mode in increased recoil and drastically decreased ammunition capacity. Also, excessive use of this setting will trigger an automatic shutdown of the weapon in order to prevent an overload.
Strengths:
- Super-powered shot: At its highest setting, the “Fate” is able to deliver super-powered a blaster bolt with a power quotient seen in higher end military grade heavy blaster rifles or minor blaster cannon emplacements.
Weaknesses:
- Automatic shutdown: To prevent the weapon from overloading during the use of the super-powered bolt setting, the weapon will automatically shut down for a period of three minutes after ten consecutive super-powered bolts have been fired in the span of five minutes or less. This safeguard cannot be overridden or negated.
- Highly susceptible to EMP/Ion attacks: The circuitry housed within the Fate is highly susceptible to EMP, Ion or other electronic attacks. Attacks of this nature will leave the weapon inoperable.
Description:
The OS-109A “Fate” Sniper Variant Blaster Rifle is Obsidian Star’s mainline sniper weapon. Based heavily on the principles developed for the OS-104 “Reaper” Pistol and the OS-109 "Fate" Variable Strength Assault Rifle this rifle provides longer range, higher stopping power in the super-charged bolt mode, at the expense of decreased reload speed and ammunition capacity. This rifle provides two modes of fire. Main drawbacks include, are an intensive maintenance regimen and the weapon’s fragile nature.
