The Shockwave Launcher is a Launcher introduced in the Earth Day Update; included in The Protector's Kit.

Strategy[]

Dawning in one of the most unliked Events, along with some of the least viable weapon alternatives, this brute of a gun is the grace that was needed for the time, and reigning throughout midway of the Old Meta. Its stats don't lie, as they maintain a decent status, including its rate of fire; however its splash is in on the low end, along with its reload speed & "energy" supply. Although this weapon uses kinetic projectiles, it will still receive harsh pushback from moderate builds.

Though the range is great with this weapon, it should be advised users Run And Gun most often, as its projectiles - while fast - will miss in long distance encounters due to its rather unreliable splash and no auto-aim. That being said, players can get in uncomfortable distances with enemies if need be, to preform a Circle around. Avoiding its neutralizing power, Bows, Assault Weapons, and Heavy Weapons can doge its projectiles and instantly return their own.

Trivia[]

  • It is the first Launcher that has heightened base damage if the handler can get a round to impact onto an enemy.
  • This weapons shots are exactly the same as the Cold Beam Rifle's.
  • The weapon works on electricity as the word "Battery" can be clearly seen on the bottom side of the gun, which is the only part that changes during reloading, implying that the character is changing/"recharging" the battery.
  • Contrary to popular belief, and upon launch, many players assumed this weapon was Energy-based until it stood against anti energy equipment like the Ghostbusters Jacket, and later that proof became solidified by the Weapon Type System added in the Cyber Menace Update.
  • When a projectile impacts a surface, the explosion that ensues uses the Plasma Punch's impact, and the Howitzer's blast.
