3Va’ruunPenumbra
Inflict Severe Physical and Energy Damage
This fully automatic heavy laser gun combines physical and energy damage into one punchy, explosive shot. That punch comes from 20mm Particle Rocketsthat deala hefty Area of Effect blast, making it an incredible crowd-control weapon.
But it has tobe saidthat the Penumbra is not exactly great at sniping, so keep it for mid-range encounters. TheVa’ruunPenumbraisn’tsomething you just stumble across;you’llneed to go hunting for it.You’llfind this weapon by looting enemies like the Vortex Phantoms andVa’ruunZealots.
2Va’ruunLongfang
A Laser Rifle That Never Runs Out of Ammo
While theVa’ruunLongfang is nowhere near as powerful as the Starlash, it shineswhen it comes toburst-fire efficiency. Unlike full-auto weapons that can burn through magazines, theLongfang’sthree-round burst approach keeps you in control while delivering consistent, steady damage.
It’sgreat for holding back waves of enemies without constantly scrambling for ammo. If you want an energy weapon that balances punch and precision, the Longfang is your best bet.

When it comes topower and precision, theVa’ruunStarlashdoesn’tdisappoint. This semi-automatic laser rifle does well when it comes tolong-rangeshots. While its fire rate of 20 ison the slower side, each shot packs a punch, making it lethal against larger enemies.
With this laser rifle, you can sneak up on enemies, silently lining up your shot, and land a powerful hit that leaves them reeling. You should be able to find the Starlash when looting Vortex Phantoms.
