Damage Modifier3.54 x
Rate of fire4.5 s
Optimal Range3,000 m
Accuracy falloff4,000 m
Turret Tracking42.24
Powergrid Usage139 MWDescription
Particle blasters operate on a similar principle as the railgun except they fire a magnetically contained ball of subatomic particles. No other turret class can match the sheer destructive power of particle blasters, but due to the rapid dispersion of the containment field, it also has the worst range of all turrets.
Requires either regular or advanced hybrid charge types: Antimatter, Iridium, Iron, Lead, Plutonium, Thorium, Tungsten, Uranium, Null, Void.
