It is (to a lesser effect) such a feared/hated weapon due to the following reasons:

Note: An enemy pilot can only get hit by one chain (never multiple) Here is a crude diagram I put together to make it easier to understand. The red lines indicate the path of the Shocktrain's chain effect.
 * Lock-on with 500 meter range (can lock-on enemies from 600 meters away), which means it cannot miss
 * Can chain to other robots within 100 meters (if more than one robot is within 100 meters, it is randomly chosen) of target (used to be 150 meters)
 * No chain limit, just as long an enemy robot is within 100 meters of the previous hit enemy (whether it was the enemy initially hit, or an enemy hit by its chain effect), the damage, however, does reduce (by 50%) after each subsequent chain hit
 * INSTANT DAMAGE! The projectile travel at the speed of light (unlike any other weapon in the game)

The black lines indicate a potential alternative path(s) the chain could take.

Lastly, the black dotted line is an area a chain cannot reach.

Note: The more arrows that point at a robot on the diagram indicates it is more likely to take chain damage.
