— O-Lir
The Annihilator Beam is a weapon of advanced Luminoth design featured in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It fires a blast of both light energy and dark energy that can home in on targets without locking onto them first.
Properties
Unlike the Light Beam or Dark Beam, the Annihilator Beam is effective against both light and dark enemies. It has a rapid rate of fire, though it is slightly slower than that of the Power Beam. The charged Annihilator Beam, known as the Disruptor,[1] fires a blast that does not home in on enemies, but similar to the charged Wave Beam, is capable of stunning enemies. It is also the only weapon capable of destroying Lightbringers.[2]
The Annihilator Beam can open portals to both Aether and Dark Aether. Shields with a light or dark polarity can be overloaded by it. It also can supercharge Light Crystals into Super Crystals that attract Ing to their death. Used in conjunction with the Echo Visor, Samus can deactivate certain sonic devices, such as Echo Key Beam Systems.
The Luminoth champion A-Kul used the Annihilator Beam, but it was obtained by the Ing after her death.[3] It is also the primary weapon used by Quadraxis, who is capable of firing both normal and Disruptor blasts. Samus obtains the Annihilator Beam after she destroys Quadraxis.

Samus's Notes
"When out of Light and Dark Ammo, you can charge the Annihilator Beam to fire a normal shot. The Annihilator Beam has a high-powered sonic aspect when fired, which can be used to manipulate sonic-powered devices. Annihilator Beam shots are very effective against both light and dark enemies. Charge the Annihilator Beam to fire a Disruptor blast. The Disruptor costs 5 Dark Ammo and 5 Light Ammo to fire."[1]
