Related traits

Explosives

• Aim-Assisted Rocket — Missile hits launch a rocket at your target. After enough rockets have been fired, an orbital strike is called instead. This trait has an internal cooldown.

Firearms

• Juggernaut — Gain might while wielding a flamethrower. Might applied to you gains increased duration. Napalm grants you stability and a fire aura.
