Heavy weapons are one of ’s most deadly guns. They either fire single, precise, deadly shots or spray a barrage of bullets. However, they tend to weigh more and have drawbacks, like longer reload times or more expensive ammunition.
Building solely around heavy weapons can be harder as they are not always the ideal option. In some cases, they are too slow to take more evasive enemies. In others, they are so powerful as to be overkill and a waste of precious resources. While you can still use heavy weapons as a main firearm, consider taking a reliable pistol or rifle as a secondary gun.

The Cutter is a reliable laser tool that also can act as a weapon. While the weapon has generic versions, the Heller’s Cutter is a little more powerful. It was formally owned by Heller, one of the Argos Extractors. They will wind up abandoning the weapon as part of the story. You can relocate it by returning to Vectera and opening the cutter storage crate from the game’s tutorial.
Heller’s Cutter only deals four damage per hit without modifiers. But it is energy-based, which can be a great advantage over plain physical bullets in. The cutter also has a Disassembler feature, which will increase its damage against robots. This will make Heller’s Cutter very useful for the first half of the game and possibly even in later encounters that specifically include robot enemies.
The X-989 is one of the unique Miniguns available. A basic version of the Microgun is on display at The Well UC Surplus store in New Atlantis. This shop is monitored by watchful staff who won’t sell it. It can be stolen, but you will be branded a criminal for taking it. Instead, join the UC Vanguard faction and complete missions for them. During the penultimate quest of Hostile Intelligence, speak to the UC Agent and ask them for some weapons. This will include the X-989 and some extra ammunition.
The X-989 doesn’t do much damage per hit but instead fires out an extreme barrage of bullets. Once it gets going, the Minigun can easily fire off ten or more rounds each second. Additionally, it deals extra damage to any alien enemies. The weapon also has four mods installed: Laser Sight, Tactical Grip, Tactical Magazine, and Long Barrel. This leaves two slots for further customization at a workbench in .
The N67 is the second unique Minigun option. This can be bought at the UC Distribution shop on New Atlantis. The merchant, Wen Tseng, will sell it for around 32,000 credits. This can be quite an investment, but it is worth it early on. Another nice thing is you can buy the gun without going too far into side quests or other activities.
The N67 has an enemy better perk than the X-989 in Shattering. This
