Core Rifle has overheat mechanic: it doesn't use energy or ammo, so you can potentially fire it non-stop for a very long time. Downside is that sometimes it overheats; when this happens, the rifle can't be fired for some time. This works well with a hit-and-run tactic.

This rifle is especially useful as a fallback weapon when energy is depleted. It also becomes much stronger when upgraded.
