	The greatest danger to your Aquanauts comes from the Deep Ones' ability to attack over walls, or from angles not available to other weapons. You may try flushing such Deep Ones out of cover with explosives, but this may end up causing significant civilian casualties if you're not careful. The weapon itself can cause heavy damage to aquanauts wearing the strongest armor due to the high base damage. It does reduced damage to Coelecanths and Displacers.

	The Deep Ones' biggest weakness is their inability to use reaction fire. This means they are completely unable to harm you during your own turn.
