Dual Photon Pods

Dual Photon Pods are a wing mount weapon available to the Scythe. They are unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

Photon rockets are simple unguided rockets that deal high splash damage in a large radius, with moderate strength against vehicles upon direct hit. When fired, the pair of rockets quickly converge onto the crosshair and then fly straight forward afterwards.

Photon Rocket Pods, uniquely, fire two rockets at a time, though at a considerably slower rate-of-fire compared to the Reaver and Mosquito's equivalents, as well as having both a lower damage-per-magazine and the longest time required to empty the magazine.

Effectiveness
The following table indicates the number of direct hits required from Dual Photon Pods to destroy a stock version of an appropriate vehicle from full health. The number of rockets required to set a stock opponent on fire is listed in brackets.

Note: Shots to Kill does not take into account reload times, rocket velocities, or other vehicle mitigations such as fire suppression, extra armor, or nanite repair systems. The values should be used as a rough indication only when comparing between other ESF weaponry.

Ribbons and Medals
It is possible to get both Ribbons and Medals for using the Dual Photon Pods. Each Ribbon is a standard reward for achieving a set amount of kills with a Photon Pod. Medals relate to how many overall kills you have with the Photon Pods.
