Tombfinger AOE?

[(PSN)haphazardlynamed]

Before I go waste a bunch of resources and time

Does the Tombfinger Primary kitgun still use the dumb reverse cone AOE from the pistol version? that hits absolutely nothing since in order to be in that cone a target would have to be in front of what you hit (which isn't possible since you would have hit that guy instead)

 

...for that matter, did they ever fix the AOE on the pistol version to be not useless?

No primary tombfinger has a radial explosion.

I think you're misunderstanding how the AoE works in this context.  As you said, it is a cone, which means that if you have a flock of Grineer flying south for the winter in a V-formation, you can shoot past all the other Grineer and hit the one leading the flock in the back (which is by no means a difficult task), and then the rest of the flock will get hit by the AoE.

You don't think it be like it is, but ... it do.

(Seriously though, Primary Tombfinger most definitely has an AoE.)
