Description and Alternative Items

For the alternative item, see Guardian

Death From Above is an upgraded Guardian. It is a Marksman Rifle that delivers a powerful three-shot burst. Since Marksman Rifles are essentially supposed to behave like Sniper Rifles without scope, the weak point damage multiplier of 1.75 gives them an effective boost to the damage done to the enemy weak points.

Its masterwork perk provides the damage multiplier to other weapons that can do weak point damage when it is active.


This item has a special ability, which is a procedural perk that can be activated by performing an action mentioned in its masterwork perk.
Masterwork Perk: Raptor's Sense: While hovering, increases weak point damage by 235%

This is a finely crafted marksman rifle with a proud and bloody history. All weak point hits from this weapon gain power when you're hovering. Four Freelancers armed only with grenades and these rifles, turned an almost certain defeat into victory during the Skirmish at Skystone Garrison. They used skillful hovering tactics and legendary marksmanship to lure a superior Dominion force into a withering crossfire.
