You can use the slinger to gather items from afar. This means you no longer need to walk up to items to get them. You also don't need to stop to gather materials as you can use your slinger to gather items while on your Seikret.
This is useful if you are in a hurry to get from one point of the map to another without much interruption.
You can use your slinger to shoot a variety of projectiles at monsters. Examples include the Paint Pod for tracking monsters, the Flash Pod for interrupting enemies, and more.

Players have the option to shoot the slinger as they unsheath their weapon. To do this, go to Focus Mode through L2 , and shoot using L3! Check the controls for Xbox and Kayboard above!
While this can be done with every weapon, note that you can only do this with Dung Pod, Paint Pod, and Flash Pod.
