Lingering explosion re-applies DOT on the ZED before it has a chance to hit, actual DOT suffering begin when explosion wears off. Overall the damage output per single rocket is 5 ticks of lingering explosion (60 "explosive" damage per hit) and then 4-5 ticks (depending on a local / server frame rate) of "bleeding" damage (30 per hit), implying that ZED stays within Locust Cloud.

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.
