Burst Laser GUIDE
Understand Burst Laser
Useful when…
- Use as a burst-fire Sentinel weapon with a Puncture-heavy listed damage profile.
- Compare its critical values with the listed Prisma and Prime versions.
Handling and damage
The listed trigger is Burst, with a 15-round magazine and 100% accuracy. The normal attack is a projectile listed at speed 1.5 and projectile speed 40; it deals 17 Puncture, 2 Impact, and 1 Slash damage, totaling 20. Critical chance is 15%, critical multiplier 2×, and status chance 10%.
Comparing variants
The Prisma Burst Laser candidate lists 18% critical chance and a 2.15× multiplier; Burst Laser Prime lists 20% and 2.3×.
Other companion weapon role
Cryotra is described as firing icy grenades, unlike Burst Laser's projectile bursts. Its full profile includes distinct direct-hit and Cold Field attacks, so it is a different handling and damage option rather than a like-for-like laser comparison.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The normal attack is Puncture-heavy, while critical and status chances are listed at 15% and 10%.
- The supplied candidate data does not permit a full performance comparison with Prisma or Prime variants.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not read projectile speed 40 as an attack speed; the normal attack speed is separately listed as 1.5.
- Do not assume the comparison variants share the standard weapon's full attack profile.
