Photon lance: two focused beams instantly sear enemy ships, often engulfing them in flame.
—In-game description

Photor is a Railjack Armament that fires a hitscan laser that deals primarily  Heat damage with fast fire rate, good critical chance and status chance, pinpoint accuracy, high effective range, and innate punch through.

Houses & Tiers

Turret stats mostly follow the same pattern between Houses within the same tier, i.e. compared to the Sigma variant:

Recovered Mk II and Mk III Turret Wreckages will come with an additional random stat bonus of either Fire Rate or Damage. All turrets of the same tier and House will have the same type of bonus, only the numeric value is randomized. These bonus stats are listed within each individual armament table below.
