The miner's best friend, this weapon can deliver a burst of pulverizing bolts of energy at close range. The ore scanner is repurposed as an interlock to prevent excessive use against shields when the weapon is in autofire mode.

–In-Game Description


The Mining Blaster is a specialized anti-armor energy weapon, similar to the Breach SRM, with a moderately high rate of fire. It deals 200 explosive damage, with an additional 100 damage that only affects armor, per shot.

Notes

The Mining Blaster is an effective anti-armor weapon, capable of quickly stripping armor from any target it hits. Its small charge capacity means it is best used in bursts.
