Weapons-Text only

Yes the redeemer spawns after 2 mins of a map I believe. If you use the primary fire trigger the (nuclear) warhead goes in a straight line but using the secondary fire you can remotely control its path to move in any direction you want it to go. To detonate the missile either guide it to your target, near your target or simply press primary or secondary fire.

Its the only weapon that deals 250 damage and 150% damage for vehicles so nothing survives a direct hit. The weapon has splash damage (fallout cloud) which means the damage from the missile decreases in % the further you are from the centre. Ive seen people fire it relatively close up and survive but don't ask me how cos they're within the radius. Only reason I could think is if they are well stocked on health/shield and only experience the 3rd wave of impact which is approx 2/3 of 250 = 160 damage at a guess.

If you play warfare you'll find its the only weapon other than the shape charge that can destroy a barricade. I'll let someone else post bout special deployables that are effectively weapons. maybe it should be in another tutorial - would be good.
