“…Extremely powerful energy weapon, that disintegrates enemies with a flow of high-energy particles. Its power grows as the distance decreases, leaving no chance for those who get too close…” – in-game description
Introduction
The Calamity is a close to mid-range (up to 600 meters) heavy energy weapon.
Strategy
This electric beam weapon is a heavy version of light Spark and medium Scourge.
This Calamity 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 is a heavy version of Scourge and Spark.
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.
Robots that excel at sustained fights, 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 Zeus, as well as having the option to become a brawler at will.
The Calamity pairs perfectly with the Spark and Scourge. Combining this weapon with a lock-down weapon such as a Pulsar can prove quite potent.
