Conclave:Spectra

While its intended design is for deep space construction, the concentrated laser beam of the Spectra is highly effective against organic and synthetic enemies.

The Spectra is a Corpus beam pistol unlockable through Energy Lab Research in the dojo. Released in Update 9.0, it appears to be a handheld cutting laser that is as effective at cutting flesh as it is at cutting metal. It is essentially a sidearm version of the Flux Rifle.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000‍5,000.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Holding down the fire button while using Shade or a Huras Kubrow will cloak you if enemies are nearby, letting you potentially deal large amounts of damage without retaliation.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Spectra is currently known to be one of the most improved weapons throughout the game's patches, as it was one of the weakest Clan Dojo Research weaponry ever released: It used to deal a total of 8 damage per second.
Spectra is the plural form of Spectrum.
During the final phases of Operation: Arid Fear, the Corpus Scouts were equipped with Spectras, which they would use for short durations before attempting to run.
Ceasing fire from the Spectra actually retracts the beam instead of it disappearing.
