The HRG Locust is the Survivalist's tier 3 weapon. It is an alternation of the Demolitionist's Seeker Six. This weapon launches rockets that create a cloud of nanobot-locusts that attack ZEDs by applying damage over time, bleeding and toxic incaps.

Just like Seeker Six it fires slightly faster and has significantly less recoil in lock-on mode, though it only locks while in ADS so by maintaining hip fire players may still utilize said bonuses while firing rockets in a dump-fire manner. Unlike said weapon, however, the HRG Locust does not bear any projectile impact damage at all (technically it does 1 damage). It's primary damage source is a lingering (long-lasting, self-repeating) explosion left by each rocket, as well as DOT caused by that rocket.

Description & Flavor Text

"- Primary fire launches a rocket that creates a cloud of nanobot-locusts that attack Zeds. Aiming in Alt-fire activates a targeting laser and enables guided rockets."

"- Favorite weapon for Zed pest control."

Technical Information

Damage:

• Projectile impact = 1.
• Bash = 29.

Lingering Rocket Explosion:

• Explosion damage = 60.
• Explosion falloff exponent = 0.5 (exp).
• Explosion radius = 200uu (2 meters).
• Lingering explosion damage interval = 0.5s.
• Lingering explosion duration = 3s.

Locust DOT (bleeding):

• Damage = 30.
• Dutaion = 3s.
• Interval = 0.5s.

Rocket creates a lingering (long-lasting, self-repeating) explosion (Locust Cloud) that lasts for 3s and does 60 damage within 0.5s intervals. ZEDs caught by this explosion start suffering from bleeding DOT (30 dmg / tick, 3s duration, 0.5s interval). Locust-infected ZEDs will also spread the infection upon bumping into each other, similar to Firebug's Napalm skill (damage values are the same as bleeding DOT). Lingering explosion re-applies DOT on the ZED (with refreshed duration) each time this ZED takes damage from it (Cloud and DOT damage co-exist simultaneously).

Damage Type: Explosive, Bleeding.

Rate Of Fire:

• Dump-fire = 171 RPM.
• Lock-on mode = 200 RPM.

Reload Time:

• Normal = 2.96s.

Equip Time = 0.53s, Putdown Time = 0.50s.

Weapon Powers:

• Bleed power (locust DOT) = 20.
• Knockdown power (rocket lingering explosion) = 39.
• Poison power (locust DOT) = 25.
• Stumble power (rocket lingering explosion) = 59.

Upgrades

• Upgrade 1 (700): Base damage x1.15 (92 explosion), Base weight + 1 (7 total).
• Upgrade 2 (1500): Base damage x1.3 (104 explosion), Base weight + 2 (8 total).

Upgrades do not improve bleeding DOT.

Notes

• Unlike Hemogoblin's bleeding DOT, only one instance of the Locust DOT will present on the ZED at time.
• Up to 6 targets can be locked on. ADS is required to lock on the target.
• Significantly less recoil in a lock-on mode. Full-auto in a free fire mode.
• Rocket (distance to detonate) = 0.5 meters.
• Rocket will collide with either - hitzone or a collision cylinder.
• Does no self damage to player. Rocket is immune to Siren's scream.
