ENERGY WEAPONS

LASER PISTOL XJ25

Laser pistol XJ25. For a long period of time humans lived in fear of Witchjellys. Existing armor could not absorb powerful strikes of an adult Witchjelly so fighting one with a close combat weapon was basically a suicide. Thus, there was a great need for a weapon that could replace energy knives as a better means of destroying a Witchjelly. Laser Pistol XJ25 was the first weapon of such kind. Due to its relatively low requirements of skill and physical parameters it become the most popular weapon against Witchjelly among miners of 7th to 9th levels. The only drawback of XJ25 is its low base grouping due to inability to add any upgrade parts (laser designators, scopes and others).
LASER RIFLE XJ45

Laser Rifle XJ45 is a universal weapon based on the original laser pistol XJ25. XJ45 can be used against other human characters just as well as against Witchjelly ambushes. Decent energy and burn damage, adequate grouping and ability to shoot long rays have made XJ45 for a while the most common for short distances. Everyone knows that regular armor absorbs much less of energy damage than shock thus making XJ45 a very effective weapon. XJ45 is typically used starting from 10th level even though it is possible to be able to use on the 9th.
SMARTGUN XJS-4E

SmartGun XJS-4E was the first weapon ever designed and created specifically for Engineers. Creators of the SmartGun utilized the latest technologies available and managed to achieve nearly the same energy damage level as that of Laser Rifle XJ45. However; since the SmartGun does not have the ability to shoot long rays it is less effective than HJ45. Still, XJS-4E can be a great help to an unlucky engineer that got ambushed by a large number of adult Witchjellys.
DEVASTATOR XJ100

Devastator XJ100 - the marvel of modern technology and the second weapon that was designed and created especially for Engineers. Devastator, with its massive damage and unimaginable for an energy weapon effective range of 13 hexagons, is the most powerful energy weapon in the world of TimeZero. Prior to the creation of XJ100 Engineers were not considered to be real fighters but with its onset a whole new class came about - an assault engineer. Many successful Engineers give the Devastator credit for recreating the popularity of their profession. It is also important to note that only an Engineer with high skill in energy weapons can use the XJ100 since it requires at least 70 skill points in Energy weapons. Devastators are typically used starting from 11th or 12th level since their long rays require a large number of action points.
