High Density Beam Rifle

High Density Beam Rifles are a type of Ground Weapon. Their primary fire method shoots a beam of energy at a target.

They also have a secondary fire mode that shoots a concentrated bolt of energy at a single target dealing high damage, which can also damage other enemies behind them, with a good chance to knock back. These shots have the ability to deal a large amount of bonus damage if the target(s) is exposed.

Depending on the type of energy used, these weapons usually come with a 2.5% chance of applying a specific effect to the target, unless otherwise stated.
