Tesla Weapon

"Let the Joules flow!"

- Tesla trooper, shocking another target

Tesla Weapon is a main battle armament of Tesla Troopers from Red Alert 2 and 3 series. Just when Soviet engineering of tesla technology has seemed to finally bloom out, the briliant tinkers wouldn't stop there. They had also found a way to attach the miniaturized tesla coil to a human arm and power it up with an armor suit, that would also protect from self-incineration. This wonderous weapon ended up with a huge success, finally cladding thousands of soldiers in tesla suits.

The tesla weapon winds up electricity right in the soldier hand and releases in a violent lightning branch, having a voltage over 2 kV. The bolts burn the infantry right before the eyes and crumple vehicles in a few charges. The personal tesla coil has also been modified to give positive feedback charges to monolithic Tesla Coil, sowing an already enough terror into enemy armies, wind addition of now working powerless.

Red Alert 2
The tesla cannon is proven to be effective against most ground units in general. Although the immense shock is devastating to infantry, it sometimes manages to survive. Vehicles don't stand a single chance against the Tesla Trooper as the armor simply burns out the moment it conducts. Even Apocalypse tank could not survive a fight with over 5 or more tesla men.

Just as tesla troopers gets an elite ranking, the weapon becomes a fearsome deathbringer, with the lightning hopping over another nearest target. Though delivering a part of the damage, it will still be signifficant.

The weapon has a disadvantage of lightning dissipating over distance and thus, the troopers must get very close to tase enemies.

Red Alert 3
Tesla troopers in the War of Three Powers become greatly improved, now being totally covered in a power armor with built-in tesla generator. The weapon design has been changed, it now has a capacitor instead of coil rings and charges come out directly from the suit. The electricity charges now became amplified to such sizes, they simply leave any infantry with exposed skin burned out to barebones. The efficiency against vehicles and building has remained the same, doing serious damage.
