Heavy Laser/Auto

Back To Main Page

A heavy squad support weapon, the Heavy Laser/Auto can be researched following the discovery of the Scatter Laser.

This weapon excels in mid-range combat, while it lacks an aimed shot function, its snapshot has an extended firing range of 20 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.

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.
