Hi-NRG Plasma Lance



The Hi-NRG plasma lance is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Background
The Hi-NRG plasma lance, produced by Connaught, a pioneer in the field of energy weapons, is the most advanced battlefield weapon of the 2020's, if not the LS-66 Direct Energy Rifle. Extremely expensive, the Plasma Lance is only feasably used by secret, omniscient organizations and the wealthiest businesses (Such as Darrow Industries).

Characteristics
This high-tech firearm projects a "bolt" or "pulse" of superheated plasma down an ionized path toward its target. The weapon apparently loads it's rounds automatically, and is only capable of a slow rate of fire without overheating the mechanism. One "Magazine" of plasma can allot 20 shots. Although the weapon is somewhat inaccurate, in practice the large projectile cancels out the distance between shots.

Combat Statistics & Summary

 * Damage / Round: 4 (upgradable to 7)
 * Rate of Fire: 4 (upgradable to 5)

Bugs

 * As with the laser rifle, this weapon does not overheat as it should on the PC version.
