WORK IN PROGRESS
Wide Beam Pistols are a type of Ground Weapon. Their primary fire method shoots a beam of energy at a target. They also have a secondary fire mode that projects a field of energy in front of the shooter that damages several targets at once. These shots have the chance of causing a target to become exposed, which can be useful if someone else is armed with an Exploit weapon.
Depending on the type of energy used, these weapons usually come with a 2.5% chance of applying a specific effect to the target, unless otherwise stated.
