How to Use the Explosive Blastsling
Deals High Damage over a Large Area
The Blastling is a high damage weapon that can be used between medium to long-range. They have a large area of effect, which depends on how much the weapon is drawn, and it can leave an area of residual damage after use.
However, since Blastslings use bombs as ammo, they cannot tear off machine components and can only destroy them.
Purgewater Elemental Damage
This weapon inflicts Purgewater damage on enemies, which causes the Drenched state. The Drenched state makes enemies more vulnerable to Frost and Shock buildup, while also removing any elemental damage from their attacks. Purgewater elemental damage is also more effective against some enemies.
