Cyclone Missile

Damage effect: Multiple missiles
Max payload pyro-GL: 10
Max payload phoenix: 7
Max payload magnum: 15
Homing: Yes

A new addition to the Descent 3 arsenal, the cyclone missile works somewhat like a missile-oriented smart missile. First, though, the initial shot is a homing missile; second, six different mini-missiles emerge from the original to cause even more heartache for a fleeing opponent. If used effectively and in rooms that feature very few obstacles and corners to dive around, the cyclone missile should be enough to wipe out any human player and nearly every enemy bot.

Send multiple homing projectiles at the enemy with the cyclone missile.
If the smart missile is an effective fire-and-forget weapon, the cyclone missile is even more so. With both heat-seeking and multiple-impact abilities, grab as many as you can in multiplayer games, and you'll find your kill count skyrocketing. The six mini-missiles make the cyclone a fun weapon to use when approaching a battle between several human opponents. Fire the missile inside and watch the destruction from afar. Unlike the smart missile, don't waste the shots onto the wall or other objects; the cyclone is heat-seeking, and you'll want the extra damage from the original shot.
