Each shot deals 100% damage and has a proc coefficient of 1.0. The skills has a cooldown of 6 seconds.

Utility: Probe Launch

The skill has a cooldown of 45 seconds.

Special: Charged Detonation
The Solus Control Unit acquires any targets up to 200m away and selects the one closest to its aiming direction. It then summons a large blue circle on the ground at a random point within a 5m radius from its target. The circle  in a 30m radius but when it explodes after 3 seconds, it deals damage only in a radius of 20m with no falloff.

The explosion deals 400% damage and has a proc coefficient of 1.0. The skill has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
