What weapon is that?

It seems to be a very common laser that shoots 3 purple shots. However unlike the burst laser, the 3 shots hit three different rooms. Am I just mistaken?

Enemy weapons that fire more than one shot are not limited to hitting one room, but rather each one is randomly targeted.

Ok thanks. Saved me the time of trying to replicate it.

I thought that being able to target different rooms in a single volley is very unfair, but then I realized that it's compensated by the fact that the AI does not time their shots.

Exactly, it also makes the AI a little less predictable

Or aim at your most critical systems :)

Yeah, in one of my Stealth B runs, I only got hit in the weapon system, and sometimes through the cloak too. Obviously, I had to rage quit that one.

Unfortunately it is not possible to make a single weapon hit multiple rooms for player ships :/
