The Plasma breaker is a powerful energy weapon designed for use by the mecha in various combat situations. Developed by the Shasta No Sekai in YE 45, the weapon fires twelve supersonic expanding plasma toroid donuts which can cut through heavily-armored targets with ease.

The Plasma Breaker fires twelve simultaneous plasma toroid rings that expand as they travel. Due to the expanding nature of the toroid rings the weapon acts as a type of energy shotgun with an included spread that loses efficacy and damage over range.

The weapon is mounted onto the mech's arm and is powered by the mech's internal power source. It is designed to be an effective tool for breaching enemy defenses and destroying enemy vehicles.

Originally designed in YE 44 as an energy generation concept using rotating toroids to create electromagnetic rotation to harness perpetual-motion energy for a defunct project the plasma breaker instead found its true calling when minimal returns move the project into a phase of increasing the toroids to also maximize energy generation.

However, when one of the toroids broke the containing vessel and shot the full complement out of the breached vessel and turned the six-inch thick durrandium blast shield into a warped and twisted hulk as the toroids expanded in flight it took only the survivors not instantly turned into modern art on a nearby wall to see the practical applications of weaponizing what could not be safely harnessed otherwise.

Changing the plasma projection method from containment to instead expulsion with few of the pesky safety measures holding it back the Plasma Breaker was born as a mecha-scale shotgun style weapon in YE 45.

The Plasma Breaker consists of a large snug-nosed, barrel-like device mounted onto the mech's arm. The barrel emits a bright purple glow from twelve-round barrels.

The Plasma Breaker is a highly effective weapon against enemy armor and fortifications. Its concentrated plasma rings are capable of melting through even the toughest materials, making it a formidable tool for any mech pilot. However, the weapon's limited fire rate and short range make it very tricky to use compared to faster-firing and longer-range weaponry.
