The Cabal Slug Launcher is a weapon commonly used by Colossi and large Psions.[1]
Overview[edit]
These weapons have a slow fire rate, but deal very high impact per shot - roughly on par with the damage output of Hand Cannons, yet with no need to pause for reloading. In addition to delivering considerable damage in a short period of time, Slug Launchers tend to knock a Guardian's aim off-target due to their high impact, impeding one's ability to fire back in a duel. Hence, outnumbering and overwhelming a Colossus wielding this weapon is advisable. Alternatively, if facing a Slug Launcher alone, engaging at a greater distance is effective, providing a significantly better chance to dodge the projectiles and kill the user with a long-range weapon.
A smaller, rifle-style version of the Slug Launcher is seen wielded by large, high-ranking Psions. These include Inotam, Oblivion's Triune, Ixel, the Far-Reaching and Qabix, Insurgent, as well as many Psions with the rank of Optus. This variant can be fired with more agility, even while running.
Another variant of the Slug Launcher known as Resonant Sun is used by Calus, the Disciple in the Desperate Measures Lightfall Story Mission. Instead of the normal Arc damage of Slug Launchers, it fires Resonant Solar bolts.
