Tripcasters are used to place different varieties of tripwires on the battlefield. When an enemy walks over the wire, it triggers an explosion or other type of effect depending on the ammo used.

Plasma Elemental Damage

This weapon inflicts Plasma damage on enemies, which causes the Plasma Blast state. The Plasma Blast state causes a time-delayed explosion on the target. Plasma elemental damage is also more effective against some enemies.
