The next step up from the Laser Rifle, the Heavy Laser generally fails to impress due to its weight and lack of an auto-shot feature. The aimed mode is very slow.

As with any weapon, in the hands of the right soldiers, the heavy laser can be a very effective weapon. Often used in a sniping capacity and for destroying Sectopods thanks to their vulnerability to laser. The reasonable snapshot speeds also allows it to be a fairly effective close combat weapon.

Researching the Heavy Laser gives access to the Laser Cannon and Tank/Laser Cannon entries of the research tree.

This weapon appears in UFO: Enemy Unknown. For the Terror from the Deep equivalent, refer to the Heavy Gauss.

Usage notes

The following lists how many times a soldier can fire the gun by shot type continuously in any given round and the remaining percentage of any left over TUs that cannot be spent as a shot.

  • Aimed: 1 Shot, 25% Remaining TUs
  • Snap: 3 Shots, 1% Remaining TUs
