Trait
Air Assault
Final blows grant a stacking bonus to airborne effectiveness. Final blows while airborne grant increased stacks.
Overview
Air Assault is a Forsaken-era (Season 5) weapon trait. The weapon gains more Airborne Effectiveness (AE) as the player's health drops. It uses the same trigger conditions as Eye of the Storm. The baseline AE varies by archetype, so the total depends on the weapon.
It matters most for weapons that are fired while airborne, where AE reduces accuracy penalties and bullet bending.
History
- 4.1.0: Added the AE stat and gave Air Assault up to +60 AE when wounded. The description changed from 'Gain increased handling while airborne.'
- 4.1.5 (19 July 2022): Added a static +10 AE at all times. Total AE at low health is 70.
