'''Pulsewave Assaults''' are a type of [[Ground Weapon]]. Their primary fire method shoots a cone of energy at a target, which can also damage enemies behind the target. Pulsewave Assaults possess the highest DPS and damage per shot of any basic ground weapon of a given mark and rarity, but unlike every other ranged ground weapon, their damage falls off with distance; they are effectively the "shotguns" of Star Trek Online. They also have a secondary fire mode that shoots a wide, high-damage cone of energy, which can damage multiple targets in an even larger area of effect than the primary fire and has a good chance to knock back. These shots have a chance of causing a target to become [[Expose attack|exposed]], which can be useful if someone else is armed with an [[Exploit attack|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. ==Rifle Types== {| class="wikitable" ! class="cttitle" colspan="5" | '''Pulsewave Assault''' <span id="showHide-equipsetnavrow" class="showHideByClass" style="float: right;"></span> |- !
