"Laser is powerful, precise and most importantly, strikes instantly. Some focus is required, and it'll be hard to turn while firing. In a pinch, it's also excellent entertainment. *purr*"

The Laser is one of the 5 default weapon types unlocked from the start of the game. It shoots a beam that travels instantly, lasts for 1/3 of a second and deals 115 damage in that time. While firing, the beam is slow to change its angle and may drag behind the player's aim. This combined with the long cooldown makes each shot a commitment, but when used well the Laser boasts high damage and ammo efficiency.
