Part Description[]

Oversized missiles with similarly large explosions.

ACFA part review:

A very interesting missile with a hidden ability. Usually slow but maneuverable, this missile accelerates to the speed it was fired while moving. This mean if you quickboost and fire this weapon, the missile will travel at the speed you were going at the time of quickboost, while retaining its agility. This missile can be the fastest and hardest to dodge missile in the game if you time it right. Its drawback is that it can blow up in you face if the opponent shoots you while you fire it.


Of all ballistic missiles, they have the highest damage. They also have the largest blast radius of any weapon in the game, which gives them some utility against grouped up targets, something the dedicated anti-NEXT Kojima missiles like ZINC and BISMUTH lack. However, they are slower than Kojima missiles despite their comparable damage, which means that some NEXTs will be able to avoid them until they run out of fuel. Overall, they are a good choice, but watch out for their low ammo count of just 8 shots.
