Frickin' Laser Beams entry amended in accordance with this Trope Repair Shop Thread.
* EnergyWeapon: The Ion Rifle, found after the museum segment. It fires a laser beam in front of and behind the shooter, doing up to 100 damage depending on how much use you've gotten out of it (this is three times greater than any weapon in the game save the TooAwesomeToUse ones). To compensate, a fair number of enemies are immune to energy damage, which is how it's categorized, and it takes four turns to cool down.

The catch is that your counter-attack is locked to whatever weapon you had equipped during your last turn. For example, if you just used the flamethrower, your counter-attack is useless because the flamethrower has a two-turn cooldown. Similarly, if you have a melee weapon equipped and you get hit with a ranged attack, you're out of luck unless another enemy happens to be in melee range.
