Firestorm (PG3D)

The Firestorm G2 is a new weapon added in the 5.3.0 update. It is also an upgrade to the Grenade Launcher, and can be located in the Premium section of the Armory.



Use
The Firestorm G2 is an upgrade to the Grenade Launcher. It holds 4 grenades in the cylinder, with an additional 8 in reserve. This can be maxed out to only 12 rounds in the reserve however, despite its statistics due to it's low capacity, it is suggested to use on enemies with 2 or more near them.

Because this weapon fires in an arc, and has a slow rate of fire, it is advised to fire this with precision and timing. Otherwise, this weapon works mildly well in combat, as it takes 2 rounds to kill the target. However, this is somewhat inaccurate, as the weapon stats declare 10 damage, which should effectively kill a player in 1 shot. It is highly recommended to jump above the target and shoot the enemy in the head for a higher chance of 1 shot kill.

In Survival Mode, using a Firestorm G2, you can jump on the head of any enemy and shoot directly opposite of you while still facing down. This lets you climb over the walls of the arena and get to the other side of it, but there are holes in the ground that you can fall through. This trick can also be done with a Grenade Launcher, and can be done on any side of the arena.(Not to be confused with the multiplayer arena)

Weakness

 * This weapon has a very slow firing rate and limited range, so use a long ranged weapon, or try to use an automatic weapon.

Trivia

 * Interestingly enough, in this game the launcher holds only four grenades, in real life it holds six grenades as opposed to four.
 * The launcher is based off of the modern world M32 grenade launcher.
 * Grenades travel faster through the air than rockets (missles).
 * The reload animation is rather odd, since it involves removing the entire cylinder from the weapon, opposed to inserting each grenade in the cylinder, which is done in the real world.
