Notes/Tips[ | ]
- Counts as both a Launcher and Special weapon for class bonuses.
- It does not count as a Special weapon with respect to the Custom Fitting attachment.
- "Explosions" created by the projectiles cannot deal self-damage and do not grant HE-infusion ammo for the Demolisher.
- However, when it lands a critical hit, it will create a spot for the seismic resonator to explode.
- Do not put any penetration increasing attachments on the weapon since the projectiles explode on contact with enemy and it would render the weapon useless.
