Photon lance: two focused beams instantly sear enemy ships, often engulfing them in flame.

—In-game description

Photor is a Railjack Armament that fires a hitscan laser that deals primarily  Heat damage with fast fire rate, good critical chance and status chance, pinpoint accuracy, high effective range, and innate punch through.

Houses & Tiers

Turret stats mostly follow the same pattern between Houses within the same tier, i.e. compared to the Sigma variant:

• Lavan variant has 7-10% damage increase and x40-65% improved Status Chance
• Vidar variant has same damage and x20-60% improved Critical Chance
• Zetki variant has 20-30% damage increase with x0-30-50% improved Critical Chance and/or x(-41)-0-50-53% improved Status Chance at the cost of 20-100% increased Heat Accretion

Recovered Mk II and Mk III Turret Wreckages will come with an additional random stat bonus of either Fire Rate or Damage. All turrets of the same tier and House will have the same type of bonus, only the numeric value is randomized. These bonus stats are listed within each individual armament table below.
