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 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.
