Situation normal. – When damaged, has a 25% chance to throw 3 IEDs in a spread in front of the wearer; one directly ahead and two at 45 degree angles to the left and right. These IEDs act as sticky bombs that explode on enemy contact or after a set time.
Usage & Description
The Whiskey Tango Foxtrot has been made less risky to use than its previous incarnation, as the IED bombs are no longer shield boosters that can easily harm the user. It can be used as a offense-oriented shield for close range combat, as the IEDs are sent towards enemies.
Notes
The IED explosions have the same element as the shield.
