Heavy Pulse Gun
Mercenary crew-served energy weapon that cuts a whipping stream of light through charging crawlers like chaff.
Story so far
During the brief clear window after the Deshrouded spell, Carl sees three enemy soldiers directly in front of him working what looks like a large, .50 caliber heavy machine gun. It fires a constant, whipping stream of light into the onrushing crawlers, cutting through them like chaff, and it is the single most dangerous thing on Carl's stretch of the line.
Carl shoulders Donut and Mongo behind a rock and hits the deck as the arc sweeps past, silently ripping and shearing through boulders with burning heat washing over them. He pulls a full-strength Hob-Lobber and throws it toward the gun; there is a flash but no experience notification, so nothing died — yet the gun stops firing. Unsure how long the reprieve lasts, Carl throws a Troll Smoke Mantle in its direction before advancing.
