NE-11 PML

The NE-11 PML is a tactical slot tool available to all non-MAX classes. It is unlocked during Reflections, an event of Siren's Call, chapter 1 of the Distant Shores campaign.

The Nascent Expeditions - 11 Portable Mining Laser is a small, handheld mining laser. Tasked with mining minerals unearthed by mining drills across Esamir, players used this tool during the Shattered Warpgate campaign to mine Auraxium, and its use continues through the Distant Shores campaign for the same purpose.

Although mining is the tool's main purpose, the NE-11 PML is capable of dealing a paltry amount of damage to enemies in melee range, including vehicles.

Damage Fall-off
This weapon cannot affect targets outside of the listed range, as its projectiles have a lifespan of 0.1 seconds.
 * 25 within 2 meters

Heat
The NE-11 PML uses a heat-based ammo pool, in contrast to the standard magazine-based ammo system most infantry weapon use. Heat provides a meter that fills upon firing, and dissipates when not firing.

The Portable Mining Laser has a heat capacity of 105, generates 2 heat per shot, and has a recovery delay of 1 second. It dissipates 35 heat per second, and incurs an overheat penalty of 2 seconds.
