The Magnetic-Hydrodynamic Weapon is a miniaturized version of the weapon used by Sovereign during its attack on the Citadel. Reverse-engineered by the turians, it uses an electromagnetic field to shape and accelerate a stream of superheated molten metal to relativistic velocities, which then impacts its target and deals horrendous damage. The weapons fire appears as a bright blue beam, very similar to the deadly red trails seen firing from the tips of Sovereign's 'arms' during the Battle of the Citadel. In combat, the MHW is strong enough to destroy a Collector cruiser in two shots.
This upgrade can be researched after Garrus is recruited, and takes the form of a retractable battery of cannons mounted beneath the Normandy's main hull. If installed, the Normandy SR-2 uses them to successfully destroy a Collector cruiser guarding the Collector base shortly after passing through the Omega-4 Relay. Otherwise, the Normandy will attack the enemy ship with her conventional weaponry at extremely close range, but will sustain severe damage resulting in a squadmate being impaled by a metal beam.
Cost: 15,000 Platinum
