It does not need heat sinks, instead utilizing weapon heat generation from an earlier era. Few of these finely crafted weapons are in existence.

M-7 Lancer - Notes

  • The weapon has a finite magazine size, which regenerates when not used.
  • Try to avoid overheating (magazine reaching 0). The cooldown period is fairly long for this rifle.
  • It is one of the lightest assault rifles in the game. Perfect for ability-heavy Shepard classes.
