Once the missile is fired, it will travel about 5 meters before becoming self-propelled and begin pursuing the target. This, along with the pod's ability to maintain a lock even when there's an obstacle (such as a small hill in [[Valhalla]]) between the pod and the target, means the wielder can fire at an upward angle, giving the missile enough vertical clearance to fly over the hill and into the target. | Once the missile is fired, it will travel about 5 meters before becoming self-propelled and begin pursuing the target.

It is also effective against foot-bound stationary targets (such as an enemy sniper); the missile's high speed means that even if the target hears the missile, he or she may not be able to react in time. This is most effective at short and medium range, mostly because it is harder to see an enemy at long ranges, much less determining if one is moving. However, using it to combat moving infantry targets has little or no effect. Also, if the enemies are clustered on the middle of the ridge in Valhalla, you can barrage the enemies with it. However, don't forget that you only have 8 shots - make them count. Also on Valhalla, a possible tactic is to carry the missile pod into the man cannon while fireing at an enemy. The enemy will most likely not see you and die confused. | It is also effective against foot-bound stationary targets (such as an enemy sniper); the missile's high speed means that even if the target hears the missile, he or she may not be able to react in time.
