Particle Cannon (EU2012)

Description

Applications of our heavy plasma technology permit the creation of a burst-style particle beam, capable of unprecedented focused energy output. Its heat dispersal would be highly dangerous to an unmodified soldier, but a MEC suit is capable of mounting the necessary systems.

Effective range: Medium; 9-11 base damage, 10% critical chance, 15-17 critical damage
Devastating plasma-based MEC weapon
Only equippable by MEC Troopers
Risk of catastrophic overheating precludes suppression with this weapon

Source: XCOM: Enemy Within DLC
