This has probably been asked before, but a search through the forum didn't bring anything up right away.

When using a "Hot-shot" pack for a las-gun (or long Las as the case may be) it removes the "reliable" quality from the weapon. Is this permanent? Does using a hot-shot pack actually damage the weapon and remove the quality, or if a standard power pack is put back in does it go back to being "reliable"?

The Las weapon only stops being reliable while the Hot-shot pack is in use. If you switch to a normal power pack, it'll be reliable again.

Outstanding. Thanks.
