Ruby's Wrath is a legendary rocket launcher in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Atlas.

Special Weapon Effects

No one can escape. – Reduces movement speed. Launches seven missiles per round of ammunition. Alternative Fire mode fires a Vortex Grenade that sucks in and tags enemies for eight seconds. Firing missiles during this timeframe causes missiles to aggressively track tagged targets.

Usage & Description

When initially fired, the Ruby's Wrath launches a salvo of seven "drunk" rockets that all have erratic flight patterns and are rapidly pulled downward by gravity, making the weapon combined with the movement penalty unwieldy if not impossible to use in certain situations.

However, like most Atlas weapons, the weapon's full strength becomes apparent once the Vortex Grenade alternate fire mode is used first. The Vortex Grenade, unique among all Atlas weaponry, will actually knock enemy infantry off their feet in a manner identical to a singularity grenade while marking them. Firing the drunk rockets while a mark exists will cause them to turn sometimes at impossible angles to reach their victims; in this case, the movement penalty is completely irrelevant because the rockets can be fired over obstacles and around corners and still hunt down enemies.

The weapon's main strength is also tied down by hefty weaknesses, as the Vortex Grenade possesses a twelve second cooldown. If the grenade misses completely, the weapon is more or less unusable for the next sixteen seconds.
