New Weapons
K-16 Bryar Pistol
Deceptive by design, the K-16 Bryar Pistol appears at first to be a fairly ordinary blaster pistol. The right mercenary, however, will discover upon closer inspection a modified power unit capable of discharging the entire heat source in one powerful blast.
TL-50 Heavy Repeater
Not only is the Heavy Repeater capable of sending a storm of bolts from its triple barrels, it can also gather its energy into a devastating concussion blast.
New Star Cards
Laser Trip Mine
This powerful explosive quickly dispatches anyone careless enough to trip its projected laser trigger. It also has a built-in scrambler which jams the scanners of any enemy units nearby.
Medical Droid
This stationary medical droid periodically provides healing and a boost to Star Card recharge rate for any nearby ally.
