Calamity

US$ "Extremely powerful energy weapon, disintegrating enemies with a flow of high energy particles"

Introduction
The Calamity is a close to mid-range (up to 600 meters, with the effectiveness increasing the closer the target) medium energy weapon. Calamity is a heavy version of scourge and spark.

Strategy
This energy weapon is essentially a large mid-range taser, locking onto a target and firing an electrical arc that sticks to them and does continuous damage as long as you remain locked-on. It has to empty its clip in order to reload, meaning this weapon must be fully discharged while locked onto a target before reloading.

The Calamity has the special ability to inflict more damage the closer it is to the target. Due to this it can work for both mid and close ranged encounters. It's similar to the Zeus, but with a much longer discharge and a decrease in damage the further away the target is.

It can be effectively mounted on many different robots that has heavy hardpoint, a lot of calamity firing, which will suppress enemies.

Robots that would normally be more exposed to enemy fire at close range such as the Falcon, Bulwark, and the Raijin can make very good use of this weapon, as it provides better sustained damage as opposed to the burst damage of the Trident, as well as having the option to become a brawler at will. The capability of falcon's resistance to take serious abuse allows it to also, with Calamity, be utilized as an effective brawler.
