root@torgue-db:~$ cat description.txt

A Torgue launcher built around a delayed airburst rather than a conventional rocket impact. The initial hit is minor, then the projectile kicks upward and detonates in a massive explosion, giving it huge area damage but awkward timing. It is devastating when the burst lands cleanly, but the delay, heavy ammo cost, and enormous self-damage risk make it far less forgiving than most top-tier launchers.

root@hyperion-db:~$ cat notes.txt

Consumes 2 rockets per shot. The direct impact deals only a small fraction of the later explosion. The item card reflects the airburst rather than the initial hit. It also has an unusually high sale value, reaching roughly $2,000,000 at level 61, $18,000,000 at level 80, and $55,000,000 at OP10.
