Weapon Systems

Avalance Missiles

This air to air weapon has unprecidented precision. All interceptors start equipped with these missiles.

Phoenix Cannon

The Phoenix Cannon has very limited range but is capable of dealing out massive burst damage to any alien craft.

Laser Cannon

The super cooled laser cannons have high armor penetration but interceptors must be within short range to use them putting them at high risk.

Plasma Cannon

Plasma Cannons are the most effective solution to removing UFO threats from the sky. It has long range, decent fire rate, and high armor penetration.

EMP Cannon

The EMP cannon is a perfect weapon for retrieving the maximum amount of supplies from downed Alien craft. When using this weapon on ships, expect to encounter all its crew since the ship is mostly intact.

Fusion Lance

The Fusion Lance is the most powerful weapon that can be equipped on the Firestorm. This weapon is capable of dealing out massive damage from a long range. While its fire rate is slow, each hit blasts through armor easily.

Defence Matrix

One time use when interceptors are in combat with UFOs. Boosts the evasion capabilities of the interceptor allowing your ships to predict enemy firing patterns. In practice, using this will cause the next two attacks against the Interception craft to miss, making it great for closing with a short range weapon.

UFO Tracking

One time use when interceptors are in combat with UFOs. Provides a temporary boost to interceptor's speed when pursuing UFOs. This raises your engagment time with any UFO encountered granting you a higher probablity of taking down the large UFOs. In practice, this stops the countdown timer for five seconds, giving you a bit more time to shoot down the UFO.

Uplink Targeting

One time use when interceptors are in combat with UFOs. Once this module is activated, XCOM interceptors will gain a boost to its accuracy. In practice, this means the next two shots fired by the interception craft will hit.
