Notes

• This is a powerful weapon early on, as the projectiles home in on targets.
• The damage output is twofold when the initial projectile hits a target, and subsequent projectiles hit it as well.
• The homing projectiles only do 1/4th of the initial projectile's damage.
• The homing projectiles will not destroy plants such as herbs and vines, even though the initial projectile does. They also will not damage critters.
