Where it sits
The semi-automatic marksman slot. Faster to land a shot than a sniper, with less reach once the target is properly distant. The Vault Edition's Signature Weapon Collection also includes a Oris 8.6 blueprint called Volt Edge, which is a cosmetic variant of this weapon rather than a separate one.
How to unlock it
Oris 8.6 becomes available at player level 11. Create-a-Class itself unlocks at player level 4, so this is one of the later weapons in the progression rather than a day-one option. Use the unlock tracker to see exactly what else your current level has already opened.
What to test
Time your first shot from a rest and from a shoulder. The difference is the whole point of the slot. Change one attachment at a time and keep notes — a change that feels better is not always the change that performs better.
What is not published yet
Activision has not published damage, range or time-to-kill figures for the launch arsenal, and this page will not invent them. Any ranking you see elsewhere is a guess until the game is in your hands and you have measured it yourself.
