Structural Analysis complete. Designation: super weapon. Evidence suggests this facility will intercept all ships attempting to approach or take off from the planet. Scanning for any method of disabling the weapon.
― PDA, Dialogue

The Precursor Ground-To-Air Weapon System is a huge weapon that will be located by the Mountain Island. It fired the energy pulses responsible for causing both the Degasi and Aurora to crash on Planet 4546B, as well as eventually destroying the Sunbeam.
The weapon was built by the Precursor race around one thousand years ago, in order to prevent the spread of Carar.
The player must cure himself of Carar before being able to disable the gun and leave the planet.
To view the weapon firing, type 'playsunbeamfx' into the console.
Warpers can be found around the Precursor Ground-To-Air Weapon System.
Interior
The Precursor Ground-To-Air-Weapon System's interior consists of two major areas, the upper section and the submerged lower section. Both sections have separate entrances, although the player can take an anti-gravity elevator found within the facility in order to access one section from the other.
Upper Section
The entrance to the upper section can be found on the beach of the Mountain Island, a large door gives access to the interior from here.
Lower Section
The entrance to the lower section is a large opening in the side of the "tower", which gives access to a large moonpool. The moonpool is just large enough to fit a Cyclops submarine. Inside the moonpool room are two doors, one leading to the right and one leading straight forward. The door to the right leads to the elevator, while the other door leads deeper into the facility, into a room dominated by a series of platforms and ramps. Going up will lead the player to the control room, to the right of the final ramp. However, in the corner of the "ground floor" of the room, is a winding hallway that leads to the Precursor Teleporter room.
Future Plans
- Ion Crystals will be found here. [Citation needed]
- A Precursor Teleporter will be implemented in the lower section.
- The default position of the weapon has it facing away from the Aurora, it will turn towards the Sunbeam before firing.[1]
- The "sick scanner" will be moved from the moonpool area up to the control room.[2]
- An infection reveal animation will play when the player interacts with the control panel in the control room.
