PMC Abyss unit firing question

[scarlet plank]

I am curious about the one of the Abyss troops firing, why does the firing animation show a jumping ball animation that barely does any damage. Is that intended or not and what's the purpose of it and what are the blue exposition weapons? Is it shock or what?

I recently returned to the game and from a 7-8 year break so I am not sure what's new.

Thanks

his 3 team members have 3 weapons, the arty one has a range of 700 and actully hits kina hard, the bounce not so much but the main shot. the other two guys are a plasma gun and a shotgun. so he hits with 3 damage types

Kix made Abyss another useless unit when they did the stat compressions. Totally screwed anyone who coined it to max level

Yea thats true but Im sure it will help out in holdout as bait or kite a unit so your other units wont die

I use my Abyss soliders as a meat sheild while my other units attack

Old units such as Matt are now stronger then Ghost which is a much newer unit.

Matt is old hero for Hades, He can hit High Alttitude too which is nice
