Heavy Laser
- For the XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012) version, see Heavy Laser (EU2012)
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.
