About Ballistica
Ballistica is a secondary crossbow that shoots four arrows in quick succession with a tap, or a single arrow when charged. It deals mostly Puncture damage, and killed enemies follow the bolt and get pinned to walls.
Gunslinger and Lethal Torrent affect both the speed between bursts and the burst speed itself. It's a good option if you like bow-style gameplay on a sidearm slot. The blueprint is sold in the Market for Credits, and the weapon sells for 5,000 Credits.
Ballistica was added with Update 10.4 (October 2013).
Requires Mastery Rank 2.
