―Official Description
Release of gear

News about the release of the Medusa Vest and Luftplatzen in mobile.

The Luftplatzen (German for "air-burst") is a fully automatic ThermalicoThermal rocket launcher made by Teknoboom added in the first expansion pack. It deals the largest amount of damage of any non premium Teknoboom weapon, the title going to the [PREM] Version Zerfallen. It also does ThermalicoThermal damage which increases its potency. The Luftplatzen is the perfect weapon for killing huge hordes of durable zombies and is a good weapon to use. It also has a very large blast radius and has a RoF of 3 RpS. Additionally, it has a larger blast radius than the T-101 Feldhaubitz, perfect for destroying clusters of enemies. The large blast radius is balanced out by the fact that the explosion is shaped like a cone instead of a circle, so make sure to line up a group of zombies in a straight line for maximum effect. Note that this weapon has a rather small clip size for its RoF, however, which pales into uselessness with Overclocked; however this is mainly a problem for those who lack a fast enough reload.

The blast, unlike all other blast weapons, is a cone in the front rather than a circle, sometimes giving difficulty hitting foremost and some more zombies behind it when those are moving, especially runners and worms due to their fast speed.

It should also be mentioned that this is an excellent weapon for killing bosses such as Loaderbots, and the explosion is also useful against Shielders as it pierces through the shields. In addition, this is extremely overpowered against Bloater swarms in Apocalypse.
