This Sidearm shoots a wave in a cone in front of you, hitting every target in that frontal cone. It has surprisingly long range, though not as long as some other Sidearms. Best used on groups of enemies, especially if you are lacking an AoE attack of some kind.
“Stranded between life and death, this child yearns to be held and will desperately protect its caretaker.”

- Inside Revered Beacon (Sester's Refuge). See the map.
