** '''''Pool of Radiance''''': an advanced Fuel Rod Cannon with a 40% lower rate of fire compared to the normal weapon but the fuel rods leave behind explosive submunitions, have a 42% larger blast radius, and feature a proximity airburst fuse.

It is also available in the mission ''Reunion'', where it comes in handy against the Warden Eternal and his Prometheans, especially if paired with the ''[[Talon of the Lost]]'' [[Type-56D needler|Needler]], even on Legendary difficulty. | ** '''''Pool of Radiance''''': an advanced Fuel Rod Cannon with a 40% lower rate of fire compared to the normal weapon but the fuel rods leave behind explosive submunitions, have a 42% larger blast radius, and feature a proximity airburst fuse.
