Heavy Shatter Driver

"The Heavy Shatter Driver fires a heavy long range Kinetic, that shatters on impact into an arc of multiple projectiles, hitting any targets behind it."

General
The Heavy Shatter Driver is an enhanced Shatter Driver with significantly more firepower.

Advantages
Heavy Shatter Drivers have the same benefits as the regular version, but deal even more damage and are more mass-efficient.

They also have increased shield bypass, making them useful against regenerating shields and guaranteeing damage against the enemy even in the event of a loss.

Disadvantages
Heavy Shatter Drivers are vulnerable in close range combat similar to the normal Shatter Driver. They are just as easily dodged, but each hit counts for a lot more due to the improved damage and shield bypass.
