Long: when he hits an enemy his beam does both explosive and impact dmg, for an estimated 94 DPS. This DPS is balanced up close, as Citron is a tank. The issue is his explosive dmg causes this dps to be maintained at sniper ranges.

There is no fall-off to explosive dmg. So to balance him, his impact dmg fall off should become more punishing to account for the explosive dmg, or add falloff to explosive dmg. I can undertand that. However, the problem is conveying that with the laser. To me, a laser attack would mostly be the same at any range, and I view Citron as a multi-range tank. Well that's the issue. He hurts enough at range since his laser doesn't arc and is instant.
