The Electrifying Projectile Launch System turns V's arm into a small launcher that fires explosive rounds with Electrical damage. It is the only ranged weapon among the arm implants. V fires it from the Combat Gadget quickslot. This variant grows stronger with Cool. It suits a Cool gunfighter who wants an explosive answer to groups of enemies. The Electrifying Projectile Launch System is an early to mid game implant that ripperdocs sell from level 10.
Effect
The Electrifying Projectile Launch System launches an explosive projectile that deals heavy Electrical damage. It goes on the Combat Gadget quickslot. V aims and fires it with the Combat Gadget button.
Shots can be charged. A charged shot deals 30% more damage and its explosion radius grows by 25%. It also gains a much higher chance to apply a status effect to the targets. The launcher uses charges, and each charge recharges over time after it is spent.
This variant is attuned to Cool. Each point of Cool adds 0.5% damage with the launcher. The standard Projectile Launch System scales with Technical Ability instead.

Character Builds
The Electrifying Projectile Launch System suits a build with high Cool and some Technical Ability. Cool raises the damage of the launcher. Technical Ability holds the perks made for it. Doomlauncher adds one more charge and speeds up recharge. Its recharge gets faster still when no charges are left and outside combat, and each kill restores a little charge. Pyromania widens the explosions of grenades and the Projectile Launch System by 10%. Friendlier Fire gives 50% resistance to explosions that V causes.
Phantom Liberty adds Relic perks for arm cyberware. With Jailbreak, holding the Combat Gadget button overcharges the launcher. The overcharged shot fires a burst of five projectiles that cover a larger area. Launch Capacity Override adds one more charge.

Lore
The in-game description calls the Projectile Launch System a missile launcher in the palm of the hand, more or less literally.
Notes
- The Arms slot holds one implant, so the launcher replaces any Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms or Monowire.
- The same launcher also comes as the Projectile Launch System with Physical damage, plus Thermal and Toxic variants.
