Tulumbas



"Tulumbas is a medium-range unguided rocket launcher. Rockets have a large AOE (area of effect). Deal damage to a group of enemies as well as their physical shields or enemies taking cover"

Introduction
The Tulumbas is a mid-range (up to 500 meters) medium rocket weapon.

Strategy
This rocket launcher is similar to Pin, but shoots 8 (rather than 4) weaker rounds at a higher rate of fire. It also has a longer reload time (18 seconds). Being a missile type weapon it causes splash damage to enemies behind cover. The missiles need to make contact with the enemy robot, or else they will continue to fly to their maximum distance.

Being a mid range weapon, the Tulumbas is best used with other similarly ranged rockets such as the Pin and the Trident. By remaining behind cover or out of range of robots equipped with short range weapons, then only breaking cover long enough to fire off a salvo, before returning to cover is a common tactic.

Most commonly seen on Rhinos, Griffins, Golems, Docs and Fūjins.

There is a possible bug where some rockets explode on launch. This is fairly uncommon though. It appears to occur most often when a robot is falling or jumping. The bug does not appear to happen when the robot is stationary.
