Photon Accelerator

The Photon Accelerator is a Contraband railgun found exclusively in Contraband Crates, located in the Military Bunker and the Access Denied storage rooms. It is one of the rarer Contraband drops, and it cannot be purchased normally. With its overwhelming damage output, it is a very specialized weapon.
== Tips and Usage ==
The Photon Accelerator is specifically intended for swiftly taking down high-value targets, such as Operators, with ease. It is capable of instantly killing any target when hitting any part of their body, regardless of what armor they are wearing. This devastating damage output is at the expense of a long charge time before firing. It is recommended that the Photon Accelerator is used from a long, safe distance, as it creates a very audible sound when equipping, charging up, and reloading the weapon. Do not charge and fire the weapon until you are almost one-hundred percent certain that you will land your shot, as missing will give your location away with a visible tracer that has a long lifetime.
Once you land a shot on your target, it is recommended that you evacuate the location you fired the Photon Accelerator from almost immediately, as your location will be given away by the tracer. If possible, evade or hide from enemies until it is safe to stash the Photon Accelerator. Keep in mind that firing the Photon Accelerator will put you in combat for two minutes.
