Guided Bolts

DIRECT ANSWER

Guided Bolts: current answer

Guided Bolts received a projectile-effects improvement in AG-12. This is a documented visual change, not a confirmed damage, tracking-strength or firing-rate buff.

Quick facts

  • AG-12 identifies Guided Bolts in its Weapon Core visual-effects work.
  • The announcement supplies no before-and-after combat values for this Core.

Practical workflow — editorial guidance

When checking an old Guided Bolts clip, record whether it predates AG-12; changed projectile presentation can make visual comparisons misleading.

For a current test, record the weapon, other Cores and target separately from what the projectile looks like.

Report a persistent projectile-effect problem with the encounter and reproduction sequence; keep damage observations separate from the visual symptom.

Evidence limits

A complete effect description, acquisition method and numeric damage model are not established by this patch mention.
