"The Shocklance fires a highly powerful beam of concentrated energy consumed from your armor. Hits to the back deal bonus damage. It also deals massive damage to vehicles."

The Shocklance is an unlockable short range weapon available to Light Armors. The Shocklance has a very short range, but can deal a significant amount of damage for a weapon that only requires 50 energy to use.
