Zoid Weapon Types

Pulse Laser Gun - weapons that feature pulse laser ammo, featured on the Geno Saurer and the Elephander. Combined with a Charged Particle Cannon, they are capable of neutralizing shields.

Hyper Laser Cannon - High-powered laser cannon, medium firing rate.

AZ-70mm Laser Vulcan Gun - Powerful gattling unit used on the Shadowfox.

AZ-50mm Dual Barrel Rifle - Back-mounted long range rifle, used primarily on Command Wolves

Shock Cannon - Featured on Sabre Tigers and Shield Ligers, usually with 3 barrels. Liger Zero is equipped with a double-barrel (dual) Shock Cannon, which was salvaged from a destroyed Sabre Tiger.

Assault Gattling Unit - Weapon used for the Elephander, it is both a gattling gun and a 16-shot missile launcher.

Plasma Particle Cannon - the legalized or powered-down version of the Charged Particle Cannon, it is a heavy weapon that requires a stable platform such as a Cannon Tortoise. Leaved trace plasma particles on targets, even if the beam does not directly hit.

Charged Particle Cannon - (Charged Particle Gun/Beam Gun). Probably the most destructive weapon on Zi, it has the power to wipe out the planet, but requires a specialized Zoid in order to use it. Most Zoids that use it require foot-locks to absorb the recoil, a special Charged Particle Intake or Converter to create the charged particles, and coolant vents to discharge the intense heat created by the weapon.

Charged Particle Intake Fan - Mounted on the back of a Zoids capable of firing a Charged Particle Cannon, it is used to generate the charged particles needed to fire. It is also the main weakness of the cannon, as the fan can be jammed, and prevent the cannon from gathering the charged particles necessary to fire.

Charged Particle Converter - A step above the intake fan, it does not have the weakness of being jammed like its predecessor.

Hybrid Cannon - Not as powerful as a Charged Particle Cannon, but is still a lethal weapon, which has a tremendous recoil. Requires a highly stable platform to operate.

Buster Cannon - Intended for the Godulas, but was used on the multi-platform Shadowfox. Very powerful, but very heavy.

Electrical Particle Blades - Blades featured on the Blade Liger and Blade Liger Similacrum. Have the ability to to generate Electrical Lasers for long range attack. The Electrical Particles generated by the blades are able to neutralize Charged Particles, and is therefore the most effective tool for countering a Charged Particle Cannon.

Laser Blades - More common than their Electrical Particle counterparts, these blade don't have the neutralizing ability, but are more flexible, and therefore don't break as easily. Featured on the Schneider Equipment.
