Gespu-pattern fuel rod gun/Gameplay: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

* The explosive fuel rods can deal great damage to even [[Promethean Knight]]s, bypassing the need to shoot them at their side weakpoints.

* Regardless of whether or not the projectiles directly hit, the fuel rod cannon can instantly kill a campaign playable character and make them unrevivable until they respawn.

** For this reason, it is recommended to watch out for [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and [[Sangheili|Elites]] armed with fuel rod cannons, especially on [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]].

* Warzone, Arena, and Campaign feature two additional variants:

** '''''Light of Urs''''': an improved Fuel Rod Cannon with 51% faster moving projectiles that can be fired 80% more quickly, have a 72% larger blast radius, and can lock on to vehicles at the expense of a slight damage reduction. This weapon is more useful for anti-infantry engagements, but is still otherwise somewhat effective against large targets. It is also available in the mission ''[[Genesis (level)|Genesis]]'', where it comes in handy against Promethean Knights, enemy [[Type-58 Wraith|Wraiths]], and the [[Warden Eternal]]s.

** '''''Pool of Radiance''''': an advanced Fuel Rod Cannon with a 40% lower rate of fire compared to the normal weapon but the fuel rods leave behind explosive submunitions, have a 42% larger blast radius, and feature a proximity airburst fuse. This weapon is very useful against bosses (e.g. Warden Eternal) or other slow-moving/large targets (e.g. [[M820 Scorpion|Scorpions]]). It is also available in the mission ''[[Reunion]]'', where it comes in handy against the Warden Eternal and his Prometheans, especially if paired with the [[Type-56 needler#Variants|''Talon of the Lost'' Needler]], even on [[Legendary]] difficulty.
