Description

The Improved Heavy Large Laser is Clan Goliath Scorpion's most powerful Heavy Laser design. Like the version introduced by Clan Star Adder, it can inflict twice the damage of a standard Large Laser. Unlike the Star Adder's weapon, it doesn't interfere with targeting systems, so Scorpion Warriors have a better chance of hitting their target.[3]

The Improved Heavy Large Laser's only real drawback is the fragility of the capacitors it uses to store power. Much like a Gauss Rifle, an Improved Heavy Laser will explode if destroyed in combat, inflicting a hit equivalent to a Large Laser to the 'Mechs internal structure.[3]

Models

The Improved Heavy Large Laser is manufactured on the following planets:

Brand Planet Company Used by Reference
Series XVI-a Sudeten Olivetti Weaponry Thunderbolt IIC [6]
Series 5D-1 Orestes Janesek Industries Tyre 3 [7]
Model X2 Twycross DS Aero Assembly Site Rho Hydaspes 3 [8]
