Go back to > Weapons

The Basilisk is an Sniper Rifle, a primary weapon in The Cycle.

Summary
The result of an offshoot project during early development of the Phasic Lancer, the Basilisk trades higher ammo count for a much stronger energy discharge. While still in the prototyping, Osiris is happy to offer this rifle to Prospectors of high enough standing.

A phase tech marksman rifle; impacts aren't powerful as other weapons in its class, but boast a high rate of fire.



Modification
Only 1 of each type of mod (Rail,Handle/Stock,Body,Magazine) can be equipped at the same time.Most guns have 4 modifications, some special weapons like KARLA have no modifications because of game direction.

Compare Weapons
Basilisk is the only Hitscan weapon meaning there is no bullet drop or projectile travel time, as soon as you click the target on your crosshair will take damage. The drawback of the Basilisk is that it is the 2nd lowest damage of all 5 snipers and not as fast firing as the Longshot or Bolt Action.
