As the title says; I was not sure, whether the lightning and flame weapons, such as Dragon's Claw or Dragons Maw, are some what splash damage like or multi target or something. Especially the Dragon's Claw seems awfully expensive, considering its damage output and health. And just the radar jamming seems kind of not worth the effort. Once the opponent made contact, he knows exactly, where it stands. So... are lightning weapons somehow capable to affect multiple targets at once, or are they actually comparable to laser weapons, only affecting one target at a time?
#Lightning/flame weapons: Splash damaging or not?

Lightning weapons do splash damage.
Doing X% of damage to Y targets in Z radius.
For dragon claw, it is 33% damage up to 2 additional targets in a 60 radius.
UI improvements are in the works, and it should show this information in-game.

That's 33% second target then 33% of that to the third target right

Fire weapons have some AOE, but pretty tiny.
Maw is biggest at 32 radius.
Mostly relying on spraying out lots of projectiles and hoping the enemy walks into them.

Nope, no double chains
Just primary -> secondary
