How to Use the Beamwire 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

Fire Elemental Damage

This weapon inflicts Fire damage on enemies, which causes the Burning state. The Burning State inflicts additional damage to enemies over time. Fire elemental damage is also more effective against some enemies.

What Does Fire Damage Do?

Staggerbeams

Staggerbeams are a unique type of tripwire that generate a moving energy beam once triggered that follows the enemy and deals damage over time while the Staggerbeam remains active. It will only stay active for a short time after it is tripped.
