Lobber

Player experience

Classic grenade launcher, and upgrades into a blackhole bomber. You lob the shot in an arc instead of firing a straight rocket, and it explodes on impact. The upgrades are gravity bombs: a pull, a burning puddle, a wider core, a ring of bomblets.

Product goal

Lobber is the semi-auto for a shot you cannot take in a straight line. The arc drops a blast into a crowd you are not aiming through. Blackhole grenades are the ultimate crowd control, with a power fantasy nothing else has. It arrives before Rocket, with a different job.

Upgrades

Cluster Split. The detonation throws a ring of smaller bomblets that arc out and explode.
Core Charge. Blasts grow wider and gain a heavy-damage core.
Graviton Pop. The blast is a blackhole pull.
Scorched Earth. Blasts leave a burning puddle.

Open

Detonating after bounces, instead of on impact, is still open.

As built

Shop gate: round 8.

FireMode.Arc.

Each pull lobs a grenade with an upward bias. It falls under gravity and detonates on a direct enemy hit, on ground or wall contact, or when the fuse runs out. The blast reuses the rocket blast.

Shop upgrades, all required on Lobber:

Cluster Split — when the grenade detonates it throws a ring of smaller bomblets that arc out and explode.
Core Charge (AbilityId.Overpressure) — blasts grow wider and gain a heavy-damage core.
Graviton Pop — the blast is a blackhole pull.
Scorched Earth (AbilityId.StickyFuse) — blasts leave a burning puddle.
