If the target is also suffering from the Disintegrating effect it will also suffer additional damage over time. Like all Sniper attacks it will be interrupted if you're attacked. In addition, targets already affected by the Disintegrating effect will cause this effect to spread to 3 nearby targets. This Disintegrate Spread effect can only hit targets that aren't already affected by the Disintegrating effect. Disintegrate Spread causes Minor Energy damage over time.

You carefully calibrate your rifle and shoot a refractor beam that will split up on impact, dealing moderate energy damage and reducing the defense of your target and 9 nearby foes.

You fire a stream of energy at your foe which causes them to slowly disintegrate and suffer High Energy damage over time. Even after the damage over time effect wears off the target will have their regeneration rate reduced and suffer from the Disintegration effect for an additional period of time. Using Beam Rifle powers on targets affected by Disintegrate will inflict additional effects. Additionally if Single Shot, Charged Shot, Lancer Shot and Penetrating Ray are used on a target suffering from Disintegrating, they have a chance to cause this effect to spread to up to 3 nearby targets that aren't already suffering from Disintegrating. Targets affected by this Disintegrate Spread will also suffer some Minor Energy damage over time.

Lancer Shot
You charge up your Beam Rifle and deliver an incredibly focused ray of energy at a nearby foe that deals Superior Energy damage and will briefly stun the target. Lancer Shot will cause additional damage if the target is suffering from the Disintegrating effect. In addition, targets already affected by the Disintegrating effect have a chance to spread to 3 nearby targets. This Disintegration Spread effect can only hit targets that aren't already affected by the Disintegration effect. Disintegrate Spread causes Minor Energy damage over time.

Overcharge
You overcharge your Beam Rifle and release a massive blast of energy at a group of distant foes causing Extreme Energy damage, causing Minor Enegry damage over time, reducing the defense of all affected foes and potentially stunning affected foes. If Overcharge strikes a target suffering from Disintegrate they will be affected by a longer stun.

Penetrating Ray
You take careful aim at your target and deliver a punishing supercharged shot from your Beam Rifle. This causes Extreme Energy damage and may knock the target off their feet. If the target is also suffering from the Disintegrating effect it will also suffer additional damage over time. Like all Sniper attacks it will be interrupted if you're attacked. In addition, targets already affected by the Disintegrating effect will cause this effect to spread to 3 nearby targets. This Disintegrate Spread effect can only hit targets that aren't already affected by the Disintegrating effect. Disintegrate Spread causes Minor Energy damage over time. If you are engaged in battle, this attack becomes instant-cast. If you are not engaged, it will do bonus damage.

You carefully calibrate your rifle and shoot a refractor beam that will split up on impact, dealing moderate energy damage and reducing the defense of your target and 9 nearby foes. The beam has a high chance to split again off the secondary targets, hitting up to 10 foes. If the target is also suffering from the Disintegrating effect it will suffer additional damage over time.

If the target is suffering from Disintegrate, Single Shot will reduce the target's regeneration rate slightly. In addition, targets already affected by the Disintegrating effect have a chance to spread to 3 nearby targets. This Spread Disintegration effect can only hit targets that aren't already affected by the Disintegrating effect. Spread Disintegrate causes Minor Energy damage over time.
