Re: New Airburst Gun

@80uwjx4m1chcYour not using it correctly.

1: Do not target players directly. When you first ads it sets the range of the air burst detonates a few yards behind that designated range.

2: you want to manually designate the range while adsing. This is d pad down on controller not sure on pc. So if the target is around a corner or behind a wall designate the wall near the edge of the corner or the front of the object the target is hiding. Then fire.

3: fire at least 3 shots: it will take at least 3 hits to kill a full health target. Most of the time I fire all 5 just to be sure.

4: For targets in the open aim a couple yards in from of them. Designate the ground as the distance then aim at them and fire. If you designate them directly it will fly past the and detonate.

5: from firing from above is the only time you want to aim directly at the target as the grenades will detonate on impact with the ground.

Hopefully these tips help. It's a little more nuanced of weapon but can be very effective. I've eliminated whole squads with it by downing a player then there friends run behind cover near them to attempt to rez and fired the air burst and eliminated the whole squad.

    @xXHappy_PuppyXx Would be awesome if Dice pinned your five point guide to the air burst. The game demo video doesn't explain very well. THXS!!!

    One issue with the the airburst in this game, is the same issue that it also an issue for any specialists gadget slots that are consumables.

    You have no way to accelerate the regeneration of the ammunition.

    I wish the Liz missile and the airburst could regenerate their ammo faster while near ammo boxes.

    It is really annoying to work up the masteries for such specialists with the current choice of either a long wait or redeploying
