The Jet Harpoon fires a high pressure jet propelled armour piercing harpoon. Like the harpoons used by divers for hunting dangerous sea creatures, the Jet Harpoon has been adapted as X-COM's initial standard underwater rifle for hunting aliens. They can be fired in any environment with no loss in power or accuracy.

Like the Dart Gun, the Jet Harpoon is not an especially powerful weapon. It does however have double the power and is faster and easier to aim. It is enhanced with the addition of a three round burst mode.

One of the Jet Harpoon's weaker points is its low ammunition capacity. It only has 10 harpoons. This requires carrying plenty of spare harpoon clips for long sorties.

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

Recommendations

Jet Harpoons are functional in the early game and effective against the Aquatoids or Gillmen that you meet. The low damage of the Jet Harpoons do not allow them to stay competitive for long and will not hurt the Lobstermen or many of the stronger terror units.

Initially compliment them with heavier firepower such as grenades and the Gas Cannon. Replace them at the earliest opportunity once Gauss and Sonic weapons are available.

Take care when using auto shots as the clips only retain 10 rounds.
