Notes/Tips

 * Counts as both a Launcher and Special weapon for class bonuses


 * "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.
