Lineage Plasma Cannon (Apocalypse)

The Lineage Plasma Cannon is a quite powerful yet compact weapon, it can fit on most vehicles, including the Hoverbike and the Phoenix Hovercraft, this weapon is fueled by Elerium and is probably the most cost-effective Elerium powered weapon in the game.

While a Warhawk equiped with three Lineage Cannons can prove sufficently powerful to take down a mid tier alien craft, its undisputable bigest weakness is its appalling accuracy. And with its impresive range it tends to start firing long before it has a chance of hitting (the enemy at least). It will regularly succeed in doing ten times more damage to the city than the aliens if not handled carefully. If I recieved $1000 for every time the hospital has had to be rebuilt from the ground up, by the time I stopped using the weapon I'd never need any funding again. The best way to avoid toppling hospitals and mass shopping mall colapse is to save before every cityscape combat and try to position your forces to fire away from any tall or delicate structures. Also be sure to keep an eye on your elerium reserves, as it can use them up quite rapidly and empty guns are no fun.
