I've been exploring the Lower Caves in what is so far a personal record for survival. I got to the Derelict City, where I talked to some robots. Then I found a guy who offered me his Prototype Energy Gun, which he calls the "Storm Laser". I can't find any record of this weapon on the wiki, and this thing is HUGE--4 weapon slots. If I take it, I'll have to take 2 Weapons on my next evolution. I don't want to screw myself over, but I'd love to gather info for the wiki.
So, two questions:
A) Has anyone else found and tried out the Storm Laser? Is it worth?
B) What do you think...should I take a chance FOR SCIENCE?
Pictures attached.
Somewhere in between leaning towards awesome. It takes up 4 slots and is very energy hungry (which isn't a huge deal since you're only firing one guy), and it'll one or two everything in factory. The downside is it can't be repaired, and by taking up 4 slots it's going to be taking a lot of hits. To maximize your time with it, I would pair it with weapon shielding.
It might not be the most efficient weapon, but it's a hell of a lot of fun.
