Description
Particle Cannon

Applications of our heavy plasma technology permit the creation of a burst-style particle beam, capable of unprecedented focused energy output. Its heat dispersal would be highly dangerous to an unmodified soldier, but a MEC suit is capable of mounting the necessary systems.

  • Effective range: Medium; 9-11 base damage, 10% critical chance, 15-17 critical damage
  • Devastating plasma-based MEC weapon
  • Only equippable by MEC Troopers
  • Risk of catastrophic overheating precludes suppression with this weapon


Notes

Research Required Heavy Plasma
Base Costs §325
40 Alloys
40 Elerium
25 Engineers
Base Damage 9-11
Critical Damage 15 or 16
Critical Chance 10%

  • Can only be used by MEC Troopers.
  • While the listed Critical Damage (on the EW DLC) is 15-17, the actual values are either 15 (66% of the shots) or 16 (33%) due to a game bug.
  • It has a very high ammo consumption level, allowing only for a couple of shots. Using the Collateral Damage ability will completely deplete its ammo level.
    • The ammo capacity can be increased by 50% with the Expanded Storage ability and and by a further 100% with the Ammo Conservation project.
