A heavy squad support weapon, the Heavy Laser/Auto can be researched following the discovery of the Scatter Laser. It is the mid-range counterpart to the Heavy Laser/Sniper. Researching this will grant insights into the interceptor Laser Cannon.
This weapon excels in mid-range combat, while it lacks an aimed shot function, its snapshot has an extended firing range of 24 in-game tiles and an impressive 75% base accuracy chance, whilst only consuming 33% of the soldiers time units to fire. This deceptively long firing range makes the weapon an supremely effective weapon when engaging in scout-sniper tactics in long range combat, and easily compensates for the lack of an aimed firing mode. Befitting its fire support role, the weapon's auto-shot mode fires 4 laser shots per salvo, further enhancing its mid to close range effectiveness.
The primary drawback of the weapon is its heavy weight of 18 units, recruits may struggle to carry this weapon alongside their armour and other equipment. It also lacks a proper aimed mode, which can reduce the effectiveness of the weapon in long range combat, however high ranked soldiers with good aim stats can somewhat compensate for accuracy drop off.

Firing Time Unit Notes
The following lists how many times a soldier can fire the gun by shot type continuously in any given round and the remaining percentage of any left over TUs that cannot be spent as a shot.
- Snap: 3 shots, 1% remaining TUs
- Auto: 2 salvos of 8 shots, 0% remaining TUs
