Requirements: Energy Weapons 1 (Maintenance 1, Repair 1)įire Modes: Single Shot, Overcharge (higher damage, but slower and uses more charge)Įnergy Weapons do not require ammunition instead they each have an internal battery which contains a charge. If you're not making it a full commitment to Energy Weapons, it's hard to recommend the Laser Pistol.

The Laser Pistol is made even more situational by being more effective against robots, while also near-useless against certain organic enemies. It can fire both regular, low-damage shots, and an overcharge shot that deals more damage.

The Laser Pistol does less damage than even the Pistol, but it requires no ammunition at all instead, it holds an electric charge, which must be refilled using a Recharging Station, Portable Battery, or the Electron Cascade Psi Power.Įnergy Weapons, unfortunately, are a skill branch you're going to need to upgrade fully in order to get a lot out of it. It's found somewhat early in the game (around Hydroponics), and its biggest strength also ends up being its biggest weakness in some respects. The Laser Pistol is an interesting proposition, like the rest of the Energy Weapons in System Shock 2.
