- "As a response to Rancor's crude yet successful disc launcher, the Shredder, Critical Mass created a specialized weapon that launched sickles of hyperheated ion plasma to compete with Rancor."
- ―Official Description
The CM 922 SF (or "Solar Flare") is a Disc Launcher made by Critical Mass. As the description states, the weapon was made to compete with the Shredder.
Overview/Comparison[]
The shredder has slightly higher Single DPS, while the SF has much higher Pierce DPS. The shredder has a lower drop level than the SF, meaning the SF is better for midgame/lategame usage. One may argue that Single DPS always matters, however Disc Launchers were simply made for mobbing. And they do a pretty good job of it. Especially this one. It is also Fully Automatic, which a lot of players want from the Shredder. It even has nearly infinite ammo unless pierce is bypassed.
Trivia[]
The SF got its name from the fact that Solar Flares are shaped in an arc form. It also seems to have the same bright red glow that you see from the HIKS 3100.
