General[ | ]

The Cyclotron Beam is the successor to the Mercury Beam, with Overcharge abilities similar to the Surge Beam. It can only be equipped on carriers such as: the Sovereign Carrier, the Gargoyle Carrier and the Plexus Carrier. The Xeno version can only be equipped on the Sovereign Carrier.

Strategy and Setup[ | ]

Advantages[ | ]

Like the Mercury Beam, the Cyclotron Beam has very high DPS relative to other Energy and Alien weapons.

Plus, it has tremendous range, on par with Squadrons like the Yellowjacket Drone.

Its DPS increases the longer it locks on to its target due to the Overcharge ability, thus increasing its destructive power over time.

Disadvantages[ | ]

Being a Beam Weapon, Cyclotron Beams are very ineffective against Squadrons.

This weapon is highly vulnerable to Weapon Disruption, and, as such, is weak against the Gargoyle Carrier and Monolith Carrier.

Trivia[ | ]

  • The Cyclotron Beam is the first conventional weapon for carriers in a long time, since the Mercury Beam.
  • The Cyclotron Beam is the longest-range ship weapon obtainable by players, After that, it was surpassed by Needle Driver.
  • The update of early August 2018 removed the Antimatter cost of Cyclotron Beam fragment crafting.
  • The late October 2020 update unlocked the Cyclotron Beam to the Spectre faction to complement the release of the Comandante Carrier.
