The Light Twinfusor is an explosive projectile weapon used by the Pathfinder class in Tribes: Ascend. It was released in the "Twinfusor update" and can be unlocked for 500 Gold or 88000 XP.
"Quickly finding popularity across the Wilderzone, the Twinfusor series fires two disks per reload. This light version has been modified for Pathfinders." In-Game Description.
Operation
The Light Twinfusor works like any Spinfusor in that it fires explosive disks in a straight line over long distances. The major difference is that the Light Twinfusor can fire two disks in quick succession. Each Twinfusor disk deals less damage than a normal Light Spinfusor (533 vs. 770) however if both disks hit their target the combined damage is greater (1066). After two disks have been fired the Light Twinfusor reloads with a 2 disk clip. The higher total damage makes this weapon ideal for players who are sure of their accuracy and the second shot is great for Cappers who use their weapon to clear the flag stand before a grab. However, the Light Twinfusor has a severely reduced knockback per shot compared to the other Spinfusors, thus severely reducing its effectiveness in diskjumping, even if both shots are fired.
