Lasher X2

The  is a heavy gun available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Lasher X2 is an area denial weapon exclusive to the Sovereignty. Able to send a seemingly endless torrent of explosive plasma down range, the Lasher X2 is excellent at dissuading enemies from attempting to breach chokepoints, and it is also capable of damaging enemies round corners, although the weapon's vibrant effects blind both the target and the shooter, and the weapon's odd ballistics and low rate-of-fire make it relatively unsuitable for direct anti-infantry combat.

If the user directly hits a player with the Lasher's rounds they will deal both the direct and indirect damage to the target, and damage reduction effects such as Flak Armor will be applied to each instance seperately. However, the indirect damage is unable to benefit from headshot multipliers.

The Lasher X2's indirect damage is heavily reduced against the user and their allies.
