The '''Imperialist''' is one of the seven [[Affinity Weapon|Affinity Weapons]] of ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]'', and is the one that [[Bounty Hunter]] [[Trace]] uses at his arsenal. The Imperialist is a basic sniping weapon that fires an extremely accurate beam that has a very long range. Unlike the other Affinity Weapons, the sniper cannot be [[Charge Beam|charged]]. Its 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. When used by Trace, he can cloak himself when he is still and not firing. Samus obtains the Imperialist on [[Arcterra]]. This weapon uses the [[Universal Ammo]], although its slow rate of fire makes ammo shortages uncommon.

The '''Imperialist''' is one of the seven [[Affinity Weapon]]s 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.<ref>{{cite|Scan indicates the exoskeleton of the hunter may not be as durable as it appears.

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.
