PAX
From Crysis Wiki
The PAX, or Plasma Accumulator Cannon is available in the final mission (All the Fury) of Crysis Warhead, and is found during the Alien Invasion there. O'Neill tells you it is inside the crashed C-18 on the middle of the runway. The PAX is a singleplayer weapon only. The PAX is the Warheads's superweapon, much like the TAC Cannon in Crysis. Unlike the TAC Cannon, the PAX fires Plasma Beam.

[edit] Specifies
PAX fires bolts of plasma, which are very hot gases which have entered plasma state. These gases are powered by the battery inside the gun, once that the gases have reached plasma state, it is ready to fire again. The bolt of plasma, upon impact, will transter its energy to anything it hits, heating it up very quickly, usually causing an explosion. Since naturally-exist gases are used, this weapon is a very resources-saving weapon.
[edit] Advantages
It has a high damage ratio. The PAX even out-rates the Hurricane Minigun (in Crysis), Shotgun, FY71, and SCAR. The ammunition is also unlimited, so do not worry if you miss. It can kill most of Aliens in one hit.
[edit] Disadvantages
The Pax's disadvantages are short range, and slow recharge rate, though this seems to be decent. Another theoretical disadvantage is that this weapon may not operate in areas without gases, like space, which limits the effectiveness of using the reusable gases as a weapon.
[edit] Trivia
- An earlier model was the same as the PAX, but the bolts the PAX fires explode into massive plasma explosions similar to the TAC gun. It was removed and fixed since that the PAX contains so many elements from the TAC gun. You can still find it in cheats and in the game files.
