Plasma Rifle |
It took an extensive effort by the research team to reduce the considerable mass of the larger alien plasma rifle. By replacing the outer frame components with composite materials, we've managed to substantially reduce the weight, without compromising the weapon's power output or accuracy. These reductions did coincide with the added heft of a larger power supply, but we still managed to net an overall reduction of several kilograms. The substantial increases in firing rate and overall damage output versus our other prototype variants also required some additional modifications to the integrated Elerium power cell. The end result of this work is a highly advanced, mobile plasma discharge weapon that improves on nearly all aspects of the conventional X-9 rifle. I believe the engineering team is now on standby to begin production of this weapon at your discretion. Any alien rifles recovered from the field can also be modified for our own use following the techniques we've developed. |

- The upgrade to the LPR, Mutons will be the first aliens seen using these weapons, along with Heavy Floaters.
- After it is researched, this weapon will be standard issue for all XCOM squads up until the final mission, since Supports can't use more powerful weapons.
- Due to the high manufacturing cost, a less expensive option to equip your squad with this weapon is to capture aliens carrying them using the Arc Thrower.
