An ion pistol fires a stream of energy that wreaks havoc on electrical systems, making it effective against droids, vehicles, electronic devices, and cybernetically enhanced creatures. It deals full damage against such targets and has a chance of pushing its target down the condition track (see Ion Damage). Creatures without cybernetics take half damage from a successful attack and suffer no other ill effects.
An ion pistol requires a power pack to operate. After 30 shots, the power pack must be replaced.
