The Cabal Slug Launcher is a weapon commonly used by Red Legion Colossi.[1]
Overview
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 fight back against a Slug Launcher 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.
Highly dangerous, Guardians should always seek cover when one is being deployed against them.
