	The '''Plasma Beam''' is available after [[research]] is completed on either the [[Heavy Plasma]] squad weapon and the [[Heavy Plasma Clip]], or on the standard [[Plasma Rifle]] and [[Plasma Rifle Clip]].		The '''Plasma Beam''' is available after [[research]] is completed on either the [[Heavy Plasma]] squad weapon and the [[Heavy Plasma Clip]], or on the standard [[Plasma Rifle]] and [[Plasma Rifle Clip]]. As a research topic it is called the "Plasma Cannon".

	This weapon is widely regarded as the best [[Craft Armaments\|craft weapon]] available to Commanders. With a fantastic range that allows interception [[craft]] to engage all UFOs (with the exception of [[Battleship]]s) without fear of being fired upon, a huge number of shots per charge and a superb reload time, the Plasma Beam should be fitted to all interception craft as soon as possible.
