How to Use the Perimeter Tripcaster

Placing Tripwires

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.

How to Use the Tripcaster

Elemental Damage

This weapon can inflict both Shock damage and Fire damage on enemies. Elemental damage applies additional effects on their targets, such as dealing damage over time or making them more vulnerable to attacks. Certain types of elemental damage are also more effective against some enemies.

Shieldwires

Shieldwires are a unique type of tripwire because they can be used to cast protective shields on the ground. When the shield absorbs too much damage, it explodes.
