The Ion Sniper is a weapon added by Matter Overdrive. It uses Redstone Flux (RF) to fire long range energy bolts, dealing 22 ( × 11) damage on impact with a range of 96 blocks. Each shot consumes 3,072 RF and there is a 1.5 seconds cooldown between each shot.
Like other Matter Overdrive energy weapons, each shot generates heat which decays over time. Each shot generates 80 heat and at 100 heat the weapon overheats, preventing it from being fired until it fully cools down. It can also be applied modules at a Weapon Station and can be enchanted with Overclock.
