Bombast lasers are a lightweight weapon system that uses additional capacitors that charge on fire for up to 6 seconds before releasing their stored power, allowing it to deliver more damage and have a longer range. (updated: may fire during charge)
Needed for custom key binding to release weapons from charge.

Bombast Lasers
The Bombast Laser was engineered to be the pinnacle of laser weaponry within the Inner Sphere. To reduce its weight to 1.5 tons, engineers compromised on the power supply, resulting in slower charge times. Despite this, the weapon delivers significant firepower, capable of dealing between 1.2 to 7 points of damage depending on its charge level, with a full charge taking 6 seconds. Although its high heat generation demands careful management, the Bombast Laser's ability to unleash devastating damage makes it a formidable tool on the battlefield.
- Once fired, the weapon will begin charging for a maximum of 6 seconds (depending on weapon size) while a small laser beam is emitted during this process to assist with aiming.
- Custom sound effects - Small, Medium and Large variants - Uses Niagara effects for the lasers - Well balanced
Updates 1.0.1 - Can fire the weapon at any time now (with key binding) during charge but damage and heat scale based on time charged. - Added small BB laser variant. - BB lasers charge for; small = 4 sec, medium = 5 sec and Large = 6 sec. - updated sound effects. - Increased Large BB Laser to 3 crit slots
Mod options is needed to custom assign the key to release the BB lasers from charging.
This mod uses all custom assets and should have no compatibility issues.
