Description
Scatter Laser

The Scatter Laser is capable of inflicting considerable damage; however, accuracy suffers greatly as the range to target increases.

  • An application of laser technology to the Shotgun
  • Most effective at close range due to beam diffusion
  • Like other shotgun variants, the Scatter Laser has a high base chance to cause critical hits

  • The Scatter Laser is the laser technology version of the Shotgun. See Shotgun for more in-depth notes and tactics.
  • While the listed Critical Damage (on the EW DLC) is 9-11, the actual values are either 9 (66% of the shots) or 10 (33%) due to a bug.
  • Scatter Lasers can only be used by Assaults but can be very useful against the initial aliens due to their ability to kill aliens like Floaters or even Chryssalids with a single shot.
