Ghostkiller Upgrade 4
Source Starfinder 2e Playtest Rulebook
Price 750 Cr; Usage installed on a weapon; Bulk -
Mounted on your weapon's striking surface or barrel, this upgrade lets you harm creatures without physical form. A ghost killer weapon is particularly effective against incorporeal creatures, which almost always have a specific vulnerability to ghost killer weapons. Incorporeal creatures can touch, hold, and wield ghost killer weapons (unlike most physical objects). A creature susceptible to ghost touch weapons counts ghost killer weapons as ghost touch.
Traits
Magical: This Upgrade is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic.
Tech: This Upgrade incorporates electronics, computer systems, and integrated power sources.
