    What’s the range on the laser cannons? I’ve been using the Quasar a lot recently since it can hit from forever away and is pretty safe if you start charging it from cover.

      Infinite I assume. I’ve been able to take out turrets from as far away as they can be seen. It doesn’t do as much damage as the Quasar for sure and it can’t destroy fabricators, but the increased precision makes it better at sniping far away enemies since you can pick them off one by one faster than the Quasar’s 10 second cool-down time lets it.

        Nice! Can you take out Shrieker nests with it?

            I also dunno if the laser cannon take out shrieker nests, but it can slice the wings of shriekers almost instantly so you can vaporize an entire wave of them very quickly.

              Nice I might have to give the laser cannon another look. I hate those flying bastards. I usually run the Incendiary Breaker for bug missions, and the range isn’t enough to be effective against them.
