A Quantum Array Gun is a special weapon manufactured by the Council on Striga Isle in order to combat Peacebringers and Warshades. The weapon uses a special quantum technology specially tuned to the Kheldian energy signature, which causes considerable extra damage to Kheldian characters in the game. While they are carried by all Void Hunter mercenaries, the Council is also distributing them to various other gangs in the city, creating a dangerous obstacle for Kheldians to overcome.

When a Kheldian is present on any map when a mob is spawned by the server, special Kheldian-related enemies may spawn with the mob. This may take the form of various Nictus enemies, or it may be an enemy with a Quantum Array Gun. In server zones (city, hazard, etc.), the only Quantum weapons are possessed by Void Hunters, but inside instanced missions, varoius gang members may be equipped with a Quantum Array Gun and will thusly be referred to as Quantum Gunners.

The Quantum Array Gun deals to all players moderate Negative Energy damage, but to any Peacebringer or Warshade will deal an additional amount of deadly Nicti damage. There is also a chance that a Kheldian target will be Disoriented by the blast. There is no resistence to Nicti damage, which means that hit points and effects resistence is the only protection a Kheldian character will have from it. Assuming there is no additional resistence to the Negative Energy aspect of the attack, Nicti damage has been recorded dealing 338% the damage dealt by the Negative Energy in addition to the Negative Energy damage.

Quantum Gunners will tend to target Kheldian players when available, despite efforts of other players to pull aggro with attacks. When Kheldians encounter an enemy with a Quantum Array Gun, it is advised that non-Kheldian teammates dispatch the enemy.
