[Militech Firmware Upgrade: Charged Particle Laser] [Adjust the Charged Particle Cannon array's operating mode to continuously emit high-energy particle streams, making the streams almost like a laser.] [Note: Extremely energy-intensive. This technology is intended for use on Militech-grade armored units and is still in the experimental stage.] [Firmware upgrade requirements: electricity, lots of electricity; particle ammunition, lots of particle ammunition.]
