Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun: Difference between revisions

=== Advantages ===The Fuel Rod Gun fires fairly quickly, and reloads at a slightly faster rate than the [[rocket launcher]] while holding much more ammunition. The Fuel Rod Gun has a limited lock-on ability; its projectile follows targets in the air. While easy to avoid at long range, the 2x scope of the Cannon can allow for an accurate original blast and increased chance to catch the victim in the explosive radius.The high ammo capacity, rate of fire, and damage of the Fuel Rod Gun makes it a force to be reckoned with.In [[Campaign]] mode giving your allies ([[Elites]] especially) the Fuel Rod Gun gives you a massive advantage over your enemies. On levels like Arbiter and Uprising an Elite with a Fuel Rod Gun can fire the 5 bolts in quick succession with surprising accuracy. This can easily eliminate a group of foes even on Legendary difficulty. The fact that allies have unlimited ammo makes this valuable as well. This is opposite for giving [[Grunt]] allies the Fuel Rod Gun, however, due to their lack of shields, if they happen to fire a rod too close to themselves. But however, Grunts holding Fuel Rod Gun tend to fire rods slightly more often and "wilder" than Elites.Other advantages include a ricochet effect at wide angles, while firing parallel to a wall the shots can "skip" off. To obtain an effect the angle has to be obtuse and the person firing must near parallel to the targeted wall, this however does not cause the shell to explode but instead sends it off in a new predictable trajectory. You will not be affected by it ricocheting off the ground because its arc will extremely diminish the effect.It can be fired high behind cover, so it is very possible to kill enemies, without them being able to hit you.
