Scourge

US$ "Run. Run like a lamplighter. Should I reach you, you will know what true pain is."

Introduction
The Scourge is a close to mid-range (up to 600 meters, with the effectiveness increasing the closer the target) medium energy weapon.

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 Scourge 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.

Overall the burst DPS is higher on the Taran within the range 350 meters or less. However, the Scourge has a higher cycle DPS below 350 meters and a range of up to 600 meters.

It can be effectively mounted on many different robots. Particularly on a robot that also has a heavy hardpoint, as the Zeus can then be paired with the Scourge. Both have the same maximum range and the target lock feature, as well as both dealing energy damage.
