Description

The Sweeper—a particle weapon that fires three-shot bursts—is largely a mystery to its own developers. The weapon is derived from Remnant technology, then repurposed for Andromeda Initiative needs. It does not require reloading, but is prone to overheating. Sweepers should be turned over for study between missions.
