| Loitering Micro-Missile | ||
| A small missile that does not need line-of-sight and can move at a slow pace until it finds its target. |
| As the troops left the city, the top guns of the leading guilds took a hand, and they knew their business: weapons with curved or variating trajectories, weapons which fired around corners, micro-missiles proceeding at walking pace until within ten feet of the target. |
