Properties

Sniping weapon


The Imperialist is one of the seven Affinity Weapons featured in Metroid Prime Hunters. It is the weapon of choice for the Kriken Bounty Hunter, Trace. The Imperialist is a long-range quantum cascade laser with precision targeting used for sniping.[1] Unlike the other Affinity Weapons, the Imperialist cannot be charged.

The weapon's rate of fire is slow, but the damage caused by the Imperialist is devastating. A unique feature that it has compared to actual sniper rifles is that it can zoom in and out, and will automatically zoom in further when the Targeting Reticule passes over a target. Shooting an enemy in the head with the Imperialist will usually result in an immediate kill. Trace can become invisible while immobile and using the Imperialist, making him especially dangerous.

Samus obtains the Imperialist on Arcterra. This weapon uses the Universal Ammo, although its slow rate of fire makes ammo shortages uncommon.
