LAS-5 Scythe

This continuous beam weapon consumes no ammunition unless it overheats. The weapon needs to be loaded with emergency heat dump canisters to fire. It has a slow turn rate when aiming, although not to the same degree as the LAS-98 Laser Cannon.

Helldivers start with 3 Scythe heat dump canisters, and can carry up to 6. Replacing a canister is only necessary if the weapon is overheated, and takes 3 seconds. As the Scythe is a laser weapon, it does not have the ability to perform a fast reload or retain a round in the chamber.

Unlock Requirement
The Scythe unlocks at rank 7.
