Fast Dash

The Annihilator ANH-5's little brother. Slower projectile speed, but good damage potential.

Characteristics

Advantages:

• Deals impact and explosion damage, quite powerful for its class
• Projectile impact and explosion is guaranteed to inflict slow
• 6% chance to shoot three shots for the price of one
  • Affected by luck and ammo gain
• Dash refills 0.25s faster while in inventory or held

Disadvantages:

• Quickly builds up heat
• Fairly high recoil
• Limited ammo supply
• Large explosion radius makes it dangerous to use up close
• Explosions are delayed, making it possible for fast-moving targets to avoid them entirely
• Projectiles detonate upon reaching a relatively limited max distance

Ammo

• Explosive Ammunition
  • Accelerated V22

Notes

• Counts both as a Special weapon and a launcher

Tips

• The HIG-S' Triple Shot Chance perk triggers after Twin Link effects; by carrying a Twin Link II item or installing the Twin Link I attachment, there is a (small) chance for the weapon to fire six projectiles for the price of one, essentially turning it into a shotgun for that single trigger-pull. The possible shot count combinations are;
  • 1 (no proc)
  • 2 (twinlink only)
  • 3 (trishot only)
  • 4 (twinlink - one trishot, one normal)
  • 6 (twinlink - both trishot)

Trivia

The weapon might have been inspired by the laser cannon in the anime Akira
