Overview

A multi-orb bouncing bomb Sidearm, named explicitly in the 'Bounding Bonanza' achievement.

Unlock — Found in the field by breaking pre-determined destructible objects. Specific area not confirmed pre-launch. [uncertain — exact location]

Mechanics

On use, releases two orbs that bounce along the ground. Each orb can bounce up to 3 times before detonating ('Bounding Bonanza' achievement: kill an enemy with a Bounding Bomb explosion after both orbs bounce 3 times). This means the Sidearm has a delayed but wide-area effect — the bouncing path lets it reach behind cover or down corridors that direct throws cannot. Best against enemies behind obstacles or for area denial. Lost on death.

Strategy

→ On use, releases two orbs that bounce along the ground
→ Each orb can bounce up to 3 times before detonating ('Bounding Bonanza' achievement: kill an enemy with a Bounding Bomb explosion after both orbs bounce 3 times)
→ This means the Sidearm has a delayed but wide-area effect — the bouncing path lets it reach behind cover or down corridors that direct throws cannot
