Pulse Rifles
Pulses
Enemy energy weapons whose fire spreads across the crawler base during the paratrooper assault.
Story so far
Once the enemy Paratroopers are down inside the base, the now-familiar sound of pulse rifles starts pounding across the grounds — the audible signature of the breach, running under Tipid's all-hands calls and the scrolling casualty feed.
Their effect is shown directly on the Yenk former crawler dragged into the FUPA by Bucket Boy and Charles Andrew: the entire front of his body is a mass of red where he took a direct pulse hit.
Role
The enemy's standard energy weapon in the assault on the crawler base.
