{tab=Description}
Originally developed by the UAC as a mining tool, they quickly realised the Melter's deadly potential.
Powered by standard UAC cell packs, it fires a highly concentrated plasma beam within a limited range.
The weapon is prone to overheating, the built-in display will warn the user of high temperatures.
If the temperature reaches dangerous levels, the weapon will shut down until it has cooled off.
Allows installation of up to 3 heatsinks, each heatsink will prolong the firing duration by 33%.
Heatsinks will be automatically installed when picked up.
