"Long-range readings provided by HEGINT asset suggest weapon system integrates elements of SUPER ALABASTER technology to harness previously unutilized anti-shield effect. Native Askonian physics establishment, depleted post-Opis, not considered capable of such breakthrough [ref rep HEGINT/ASKON-M38-12]. Conclude: with near certainty, TT technical assistance to Sindrian Mutiny." - classified report to the High Hegemon

–In-Game Description


The Kinetic Blaster is the Heavy Blaster's kinetic cousin, possessing the same anti-shield DPS at roughly half the flux cost. It has about the same anti-shield flux efficiency as the Pulse Laser, but 66% more DPS.

The Kinetic Blaster is extremely rare; it cannot be bought from stores or found during exploration, and blueprints for it do not exist. Three can be obtained for free during The Usurpers side mission, to get more the player will have to hunt down Lion's Guard fleets and hope it can be salvaged afterwards.
