Strategic Combat Analysis

A legendary energy sniper rifle with 55% damage, a 7.67% fire rate, and a 5-round magazine. It requires the player to briefly charge the shot before firing. Its defining trait is 'god-tier' armor piercing: the Jupiter's rail gun rounds bypass ARC armor entirely, penetrating straight through the thickest plating directly into the enemy's weak core. It can destroy a Bastion dead-center in fewer than 10 shots without needing to strip its armor first. You must acquire the blueprint by completing the Harvester puzzle event while the Queen is active.

"🎯 **Marksman Tip**: With a massive 3x headshot multiplier, always aim for the head. Bodyshots heavily waste this weapon's potential."
