Rifle
The Rifle is a Quincy ranged weapon in VV: Ultimatum dealing 12.8 damage and 12.8 posture damage per shot at Long range, with a riposte-capable critical on a 10-second cooldown.
The Rifle brings gunplay to the Quincy arsenal with a deliberately measured profile: Average attack speed, Long range and an even 12.8 damage / 12.8 posture damage split per shot - modest per-hit numbers that reward consistent aim over burst plays.
Its constraints are timing-based. Attack duration is Very Long, so each firing sequence commits you significantly, and stun on hit is Short, meaning shots do not buy much follow-up time. Interestingly for a ranged weapon, its critical is riposte-capable - unlike the Arrancar Minigun's - though it runs on a 10-second cooldown, tied for the longest documented, so each riposte is a rationed resource.
Community documentation captures both a standard Evolved Critical and an up-close Evolved Critical variant for the weapon, suggesting its heavy attack behaves differently at point-blank distance. The weapon is tagged 'Q' for Quincy availability. Overall it plays as a patient mid-range chipper that keeps the parry-riposte option in its back pocket.
