How to Use the Barrage Blastsling

Deals High Damage over a Large Area

Blastslings HFW

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.

Fire Elemental Damage

Fire Damage HFW

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.
