"Almost considered a melee weapon, the Shocklance fires a short but very high damaging beam of energy. Hits to the back deal bonus damage."
The Shocklance is an unlockable secondary weapon available to all classes. The Shocklance has a very short range, but can deal a significant amount of damage for a weapon that only requires 20 energy to use. The Shocklance only needs to be unlocked one time, and it will be available to all of the classes. The XP earned by using the weapon also applies to all of the classes as well.
