Laser carbines became a lot more relevant after their buffs, going from 12 damage base to 20 damage base and having far more shots before needing to recharge. The HOS has had a new heat-dealing gun for a while, the Proto-5x energy gun, and the Warden inherited the HOS' old energy shotgun. There's just a lotta heat damage flying around on stations nowadays.
