Tactical Information
- The R-63CS is the archetypal marksman's rifle of the armory, capable of dealing with targets well out of ranges where they can retaliate. This is especially useful against the Automatons due to its high accuracy and Medium armor penetration (which also deals full damage against
Light armor.)
- Troopers and their subtypes will all die in a single shot, unless they are hit in the arm.
- Devastators can be killed with one headshot, though unlike the standard R-63 Diligence, the R-63CS can also penetrate the Medium armor on the rest of their body while dealing full damage to any Light armored sections. This is most effective when targeting the waist or legs, where three shots will prove fatal.
- Scout Striders and their Reinforced variant can be killed with three shots to the waist or joint, or four to a leg. They may also be instantly killed with one shot to their side mounted missiles.
- For Gunships, nine shots to one thruster is enough to bring them down.
- At close range, the R-63CS's limited magazine size and poor ergonomics become a problem for large groups of enemies. Close range secondary weapons such as the P-19 Redeemer and LAS-58 Talon can complement this weakness effectively.
- With the introduction of custom attachments, it is possible to negate these shortcomings by converting the R-63CS into a potent close-to-mid range weapon. This however requires switching out its powerful scope, and the weapon's limited magazine cannot be upgraded.
