What Gamma Lasers unlocks
Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get Gamma Lasers
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 45) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 technologies of the same area.

In the game
The electromagnetic radiation emitted by gamma lasers is of an extremely high frequency. Their destructive potential is unmatched in the field of laser weapons.

}Gamma Lasers: questions
How do I get Gamma Lasers in Stellaris?
Research X-Ray Lasers first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Gamma Lasers can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.
What does Gamma Lasers do?
It gives +5% Army Damage. It unlocks Gamma Eye Beam (ship component), Large Gamma Beam Projector (ship component), Large Gamma Laser (ship component), Medium Gamma Beam Projector (ship component), Medium Gamma Laser (ship component), Small Gamma Beam Projector (ship component) and 1 more. It leads to Tachyon Lances.
What is the ID of Gamma Lasers?
The technology's ID is tech_lasers_5. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_lasers_5 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Gamma Lasers cost?
8,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
