Effects
Primaries explode on contact Charged shots no longer pierce on kill 0.6x primary weapon damage

Rocket Beam is a Primary Weapon for Nina. When equipped, shots fired will initially start at a slow speed, but will quickly accelerate and will detonate upon hitting any enemy. However, her attacks will only deal 0.6x their usual damage. The explosion deals the same damage as the projectile in a small area around the point of impact, and is able to damage the same target the projectile hit. Charged shots fired by Rocket Beam lose their ability to pierce on kill, and will always explode.

Trivia

• The explosion acts like a Zen Mortar explosion, letting it pierce through shields, break Penumbra Void spawners and deal damage to Capital Punishment's fists.
• When combined with Arc Beam, the projectile will start by moving downwards for a bit before accelerating upwards.
• When combined with Bouncy Beam, projectiles will continue accelerating in their original direction of travel upon hitting a surface.
