The Pulse Carbine serves as the hybrid between the [[Plasma Repeater]] and the [[Battle Rifle]]. The Pulse Carbine fires in five-bolt bursts, which track enemies, and easily strips enemy shields. The projectiles from the Pulse Carbine will travel slowly at first, so the wielder must aim very carefully, especially in close quarters. If fired continuously, the pulse carbine will overheat, however, the player can vent the rifle before the rifle overheats completely. | The Pulse Carbine serves as the hybrid between the [[Plasma Repeater]] and the [[Battle Rifle]].
