The Saron HRB-H is a gunner weapon available to the Harasser. 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.

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
        • Inner blast damage decreased from 750 to 350
        • Inner blast radius decreased from 1 meter to 0.5 meters
        • 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
  • April 16, 2014 Patch
    • It is too effective as an anti-infantry weapon.
    • Blast damage reduced from 367 damage to 200 damage (334 to 200 for Harasser version)
    • This makes it require 3 direct hits to drop non infiltrators instead of 2.
    • Inner blast damage radius increased from 0.5 meters to 1 meter
  • May 19, 2015 Update
    • Saron HRB can aim lower than previously
  • June 1, 2016 Update
    • Changed resist type 5(Medium Anti-Armor (Lock-on Rocket Launchers, Halberd, Saron, Enforcer, MAX AV Weapons)) to -25 from 20
  • September 7, 2016 Update
    • Made adjustments to the Saron HRB to mitigate the weapon potentially blinding the driver.
  • October 24, 2016 Update
    • Saron HRB's muzzle flash has been reduced.
  • November 18, 2016 Hotfix
    • 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.
