History of Kinetic Tremors

Overview

Kinetic Tremors is a weapon trait found on Giver's Blessing and many other legendary weapons. After several direct hits on a target within 3 seconds, the weapon releases three damaging shockwaves from the target's location, one per second.

Details

• Each shockwave deals up to 90 damage in a 6 metre radius, with about 33% more damage against minibosses and above in PvE.
• Hits needed vary by weapon type: 3 for bows and sniper rifles, 8 for sidearms, 12 for auto rifles, 14 for submachine guns (Shard or Keep).
• The hit counter persists through stowing the weapon.
• Giver's Blessing guides say the perk was buffed in The Edge of Fate to need fewer shots, giving the weapon area damage; this is from a single guide summary.
• Shard or Keep lists it on 82 legendary weapons, including Hung Jury SR4, Fatebringer and The Messenger.
