–In-Game Description | ||
The Storm Needler is a heavy kinetic weapon. It is the largest weapon in the needler series, which also includes the Light Needler and Heavy Needler.
Notes
The Storm Needler is an incredibly efficient shield killer, boasting roughly the same flux cost as a Mark IX Autocannon while offering superior DPS. However, it fares worse against armor due to lower per-hit damage, while having less range and the highest OP cost of any ballistic weapon.
