Description[edit]

The improved heavy medium laser is Clan Goliath Scorpion's workhorse heavy laser design. Like the version introduced by Clan Star Adder, it can inflict twice the damage of a standard medium laser; unlike the Star Adders' weapon, it does not interfere with targeting systems, so Scorpion Warriors have a better chance of hitting their target.[3]

The improved heavy medium 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 medium laser to the 'Mech's internal structure.[3]

Models[edit]

The improved heavy medium laser is manufactured on the following planets:

Brand Planet Company Used by Reference
Series X-a Alpheratz Alliance Defenders Limited Stinger IIC [6]
Model Vi Alshain Bergan Industries Ursus 3 [7]
Tiercel Sudeten Falcon's Roost Orbital Assembly Plant Persepolis [8]
