Red Text
O, inheritor of grace!

This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.

When you aim down sights, damage doubles, but ammo consumption increases and fire rate drops, making it a “sniper-like” Order-made assault rifle. The advantage is that, despite being an Order weapon, it requires no charge and can be fired normally, and only when looking through the iron sights does a single shot jump up. It’s a single gun that switches between hip‑fire spread and precise high firepower when aiming. Fire attribute.

🧩 Origin of the red text The name “G.M.R.” is an abbreviation of the real‑world physical phenomenon **Giant Magnetoresistance (G.M.R) **, a technology used in hard‑disk read heads and the like. The red text “O, inheritor of grace!” is a prayer‑like line that fits Order’s religious and solemn style, separate from the G.M.R. acronym play. As a citation of a specific work or real phrase, a primary source confirming it is unverified. The external source is (unverified).

What kind of assault rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)

• Order-made assault rifle (Fire attribute). With the unique ability “Big Name Hunter”, Zoom (aiming through iron sights) and Damage +100% are applied
• As a trade‑off, Ammo consumption +100% / Fire rate -50%. When aiming, a single shot is heavy, but burst rate drops and it also consumes more ammo
• As a hidden trait, it lacks the charge mechanism common to Order weapons and can be fired like a normal assault rifle (easy for beginners to handle)
• Operate by switching between hip‑fire (easy to shoot, good ammo capacity) and aim‑fire (high firepower, sniper‑like) depending on the situation

Unique effect (Mechanics)

Big Name Hunter: When zoomed is Damage+100% / Ammo consumption+100% / Fire rate-50%.

• In‑game: Big Name Hunter: When Zoomed in, Damage increases by +100%, Shot Cost increases by +100%, and Fire Rate decreases by -50%.
• Web (Lootlemon): Big Name Hunter - When Zoomed in, Damage increases by +100%, Shot Cost increases by +100% and Fire Rate decreases by -50%
• Hidden effect: It lacks a charge mechanism and can be fired like a normal assault rifle (Web noted)
• Weakness: Aiming doubles ammo consumption and halves fire rate = Ammo management required. Hip‑fire does not receive the unique firepower buff

Drop farming

Summary

• Aiming gives Damage +100% (Ammo consumption +100% / Fire rate -50%) sniper‑like Order‑made AR
• No charge required is an advantage for firing normally
• Ammo management required / Hip‑fire does not receive the unique firepower buff
• Fire attribute. Obtained from Driller Hole (Queen’s Cradle)
