The Neo-Volkite Pistol is a powerful thermal ray weapon available for the Assault, Vanguard, and Bulwark classes. It blasts a heat ray onto your enemies, dealing accumulative thermal damage. Focusing on one enemy will ramp up the damage until it generates a localized explosion for huge damage to your target and all nearby enemies.

Note: The Neo-Volkite Pistol will only be available in Operations mode for now as we continue to experiment with balancing in PvP.
