Laser Pistols

From Red Faction Wiki
  • The Laser Pistols are weapons in Red Faction: Armageddon. It was originally a pre-order weapon but also available via DLC.

    Description

    These weapons are very accurate pistols that fire a sustained laser beam. The pistols are prone to overheating but deliver heavy damage over time.

    The Laser Pistols function similar to the Plasma Beam, but with significantly less damage output to structures. Press and hold down the trigger to fire a solid laser beam for each pistol. The pistols are extremely accurate, ideal for hitting targets at any range. For best results, keep the lasers focused on a target to inflict continual damage, but an enemy can easily escape by moving out of the laser's path. This requires you to manually track the target while firing to inflict damage. This can be difficult in large chaotic fights, so only use this weapon in small-scale skirmishes where you have the time to focus on one target at a time. The damage dealt by the Laser Pistols is enough to quickly dispatch Creepers and Ravagers, but prolonged firing of the Laser Pistols is required to cause significant damage to larger creatures.
