Helios E-5 'Eruptor' Plasma Thrower
Heavy plasma projector; sprays superheated matter in a cone, devastating against grouped targets.
The E-5 'Eruptor' is Helios Foundry's heavy plasma projector, a weapon that trades range and precision for raw area devaStation. Rather than firing discrete bolts, the Eruptor sprays a cone of superheated plasma that engulfs everything in its path, scorching armour, flesh, and cover indiscriminately. Its thermal demands are extreme: the Eruptor requires heavy-duty charge cells and mandatory cooling intervals between bursts. In the tight confines of a ship corridor or Hive tunnel, the Eruptor is a room-clearer. In the open, its limited range makes it vulnerable to longer-range weapons. A specialist tool for specialist jobs.
