Description

This high-powered, recoiless slugthrower can be fired in short bursts to devastating effect, although the sizes of its housing and power supply require it to be mounted on a MEC. Prior to our research on heavy lasers, we had no access to a small enough power source.

Effective range: Medium; 6-8 base damage, 10% critical chance, 11-13 critical damage
Miniaturized power supply derived from laser tech.
Only equipped by MEC troopers
Risk of catastrophic overheating precludes suppression with this weapon

Source: XCOM: Enemy Within DLC

Notes

Research Required	Heavy Lasers
Base Costs	§70 30 Alloys 10 Engineers
Base Damage	6-8
Critical Damage	10 or 12
Critical Chance	10%
Range	Medium
Abilities	Collateral Damage

Can only be used by MEC Troopers.
While the listed Critical Damage (on the EW DLC) is 11-13, the actual values are either 10 (33% of the shots) or 12 (66%) 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.
