Description[]
Experimental weapon that projects photons through enemies.
Characteristics[]
Energy weapons cannot jam or inflict Critical Hits, but deal bonus damage to targets with Conductive Armor.
| Armor Damage Multipliers | |
|---|---|
| Conductive | 2.3x |
| Non-Conductive | 0.6x |
The weapon alerts enemies (generates noise) in a 20 unit radius.
Unfortunately, the only thing worth mentioning about this weapon is its diesel-punky appearance. Apart from that, there is absolutelly no reason to choose the Photon Cannon over the stronger, further-reaching and faster-firing Neutron Projector, plus the latter is much easier to find, too. Even if you do stumble upon this gun before you get yoursef a projector, there's little point to change your Pulse Rifles and Meson Cannons for it because of the Photon Cannon's higher armor threshold that isn't balanced by reduced AP cost or higher damage.
