Sidewinder

Sidewinder

The Sidewinder is a rapid-fire micro-missile launcher. It is effective against large targets, but lacks precision due to its large spread. The micro-missiles it fires do not yield a large area effect on detonation due to their shaped-charge design.

DEVELOPER TIP

Projectiles fired from the Sidewinder have a significant travel time. Remember to lead your targets when using this weapon, which is also capable of inflicting damage to Titans’ Critical Hit locations.

Strengths:
  • Rapid fire weapon with large magazine
Weaknesses:
  • Inflicts minimal damage per hit
Weapon Performance

Magazine Capacity: 25

Weapon Unlock: Level 1

Field Notes

  • The Sidewinder is a great weapon to send a volley of rockets from a mid-close range distance to an enemy Titan. This weapon is most effective when coupled with an Arc Grenade for a hit and run against a dazed Titan. This weapon can also be used for a rodeo attack, but be careful—you will take splash damage from your own rockets and will kill yourself if you shoot more than a full magazine. With its fast rate of fire, you need to keep the pressure on by scoring a hit every few seconds to prevent the enemy Titan from recharging its shields. In addition to taking out Titans, the Sidewinder is a capable anti-Pilot and anti-minion weapon.
