The Ion Beam is a top tier basic weapon capable of hitting multiple enemies at once along the length of its beam. Ion Beams have a long cooldown rate however once activated stay on for a considerable length of time.

Workings[ | ]

Ion Beamcause damage to each enemy that is in contact with the beam per frame. When firing Ion Beam's rotate slowly toward the target at a set rate and are affected by the ships rotation. Ion Beam's continue to fire for their firing cooldown even after target destruction and will lock onto a new enemy once in range.

Each target hit will take the full damage dependent on the frame timer.
