Note: This weapon is in the database as Banshee Missle System.

The Banshee missile system is a dumbfire missile omnimount.

Use

The banshee missiles are a simple fire weapon. Have the system armed and point and click as you would any other weapon. The one unique catch to this weapon is it will fire a cluster of five projectiles that will travel straight for a set distance before abruptly scattering and detonation on impact.

Other Notes

This weapon can take a little bit of work to get used to. At close ranges it can create tight explosive clusters, but at far ranges it'll scatter into a rather random pattern. The scattered pattern is handy for getting shots on hard-to-hit targets via the shotgun approach, but the damage per missile isn't high. For the most impact you want to get your explosions clustered.

As with any explosive dumbfire ordinance you want to aim for the feet of your target, so if your shot misses, the explosion won't.
