Saron HRB-H

The  is a gunner weapon available to the Magrider. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash

The Saron Heavy Rail Beam is a mid-range anti-vehicle beam cannon. Though it deals only middling damage-per-second even when firing at its fastest rate, it is capable of being used at longer ranges if the gunner allows for a short gap between each shot for the weapon's notably high cone-of-fire bloom to reset.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to earn both Ribbons and Medals while using the. Each ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with the cannon. Medals are awarded upon reaching kill milestones with the weapon.

History

 * Game Update Number 2
 * Slowed Projectile down slightly. It retains no projectile drop.
 * Game Update Number 4
 * Outer radius blast reduced from 4 to 3 meters.
 * Game Update Number 8
 * Increased upward elevation range from 25 to 30 degrees
 * Increased downward elevation range from 7 to 10 degrees
 * Game Update Number 9
 * Slight redesign of HRB. It can now rapid fire several shots before reloading. It is pin-point accurate on the first shot, but the cone of fire blooms significantly after the first shot. This allows it to ‘unload’ on targets at close range for a faster TTK. TTK at medium to long range should remain the same when waiting for the cone of fire to reset.
 * New description: “The Saron HRB fires fast and accurate armor damaging beams. Accuracy of the HRB decreases significantly for half a second after each shot. VS use only.”
 * Removed firing delay
 * Magazine size increased from 1 to 6
 * Added Fire Rate of 200ms
 * Direct hit damage per shot decreased from 1500 to 425
 * Increased projectile speed from 250 to 300
 * Max ammo capacity increased from 30 to 180
 * Amount granted from Ammo Capacity Certs increased from 3 to 6 per rank.
 * Added cone of fire bloom per shot of 6
 * Added max cone of fire of 6
 * Added cone of fire recovery of 6 in 0.5 seconds
 * Reduced effectiveness of AoE sense it can be spammed against infantry more

 * Outer blast radius decreased from 3 meters to 2 meters
 * Game Update Number 9
 * Inner Radius Blast damage reduce from 850 to 350
 * Max CoF reduced from 2 degrees to 1 degree. This should extend its effective burst fire range.
 * Performance Update Number 2
 * Saron HRB-H
 * Direct hit damage reduced from 375 to 250
 * Inner Blast damage reduced from 350 to 334

 * Addressed issue with the Saron HRB muzzle flash being too large and too bright.
 * 2017-06-08
 * Fixes for Saron muzzle flash.
 * September 26, 2017 Update
 * Anti-Vehicle Weapons have been separated into categories based on their new effective ranges. For the most part, the longer effective range a weapon has, the less damage output it has. These categories aren’t too different from their previous Live state, but their stats have been honed more toward this end.
 * Mid-Range AV:
 * Saron HRB (VS)
 * October 25, 2018 Hotfix
 * Cone of fire bloom from 0.75 to 0.5 (Harasser)
 * Dev Note: This changes the number of shots until hitting maximum cone of fire from 2 to 3 for while firing at the maximum rate of fire. Tighter groupings here are intended to increase the effectiveness of the weapon over range.
