Fires multitudes of kinetic projectiles in a tight arc, creating a withering hail of projectiles that easily overwhelms most shield projectors.
–In-Game Description
The Storm Needler is a heavy kinetic weapon. It is the largest weapon in the needler series, which also includes the Light Needler and Heavy Needler.
Notes[]
The Storm Needler is an incredibly efficient shield killer. When burst fired, it has roughly twice the flux cost of a Mark IX Autocannon, but offers vastly superior DPS capable of overwhelming most shields in seconds. When fire is sustained, it is only capable of half its burst DPS in exchange for only consuming half as much flux. It fares worse against armor due to lower per-hit damage, while having less range and the highest OP cost of any ballistic weapon.
