Heavy Bolt Launcher

The Heavy Bolt Launcher is a ballistic explosive weapon used by the Doombringer class in Tribes: Ascend. It can be unlocked for 240 Gold or 42000 XP.

"The heavy version of the bolt launcher deals more damage per hit than its lighter counterpart." In-game description.

Operation
This weapon offers the Doombringer an explosive weapon other than it's lock-on only Saber Launcher. It is typically used indoors because of it's slow projectile speed. When fired an energized projectile is launched in a short arc that explodes on impact. The Heavy Bolt Launcher is similar to the Brute's Heavy Spinfusor in the fact that it fires an explosive projectile, has the same damage on a direct hit, but the Heavy Bolt launcher has an arc, so it is neccesary to fire above the intended target.
