Heat Ray

The Heat Ray is a magic weapon dropped by the Golem Boss. It is a direct upgrade to the Laser Rifle and Space Gun, firing a hitscan laser beam which pierces through an unlimited number of enemies. It is similar to the Shadowbeam Staff - but unlike the Staff, the Heat Ray's laser does not bounce off walls, nor does it lose power as it pierces enemies. The laser also gives off light, which can be handy for finding a target in dark areas.

The best Modifier for the Heat Ray is Mythical.

Trivia

 * The tool tip for the Heat Ray is a reference to H.G Wells' The War of the Worlds first published in 1898, in which the Martians exultantly cry "Aloo!", or "Oolaa" in the later stage adaptions, while waging war in their giant death machines.
