Terminal Velocity

Terminal Velocity
Class	Intelligence Perk
Attribute	Intelligence
Tier	Phenom (15)
Levels	1
Requires	Target Lock Transfer
Affects	Only affects Smart Weapons

Terminal Velocity speeds up smart weapon rounds and extends their reach after a kill. The bonus stacks with each enemy neutralised and falls away if V stops. It sits in the smart weapon branch of the Intelligence tree. It rewards clearing a room without pausing.

Effect

---

Smart rounds curve towards their target, and a slow curve is what makes the weapons feel sluggish at distance. Faster projectiles arrive sooner and waste less of the magazine on the journey.

Lock-on range rises with the same stacks, which means each kill makes the next target easier to acquire. The set resets when the timer runs out, so the perk pays for momentum rather than patience.

Character Builds

---

The build is a smart weapon build clearing rooms rather than taking single shots, since the stacks come from kills and fall away in a lull.

Buy it at the Phenom gate from Target Lock Transfer, with Targeting Prism in the same visit. More targets and longer range feed each other, and No Escape far below keeps the locks alive between kills.

Notes

---

Targeting Prism adds another simultaneous target, and a longer lock-on range decides how far apart those targets can be.

No Escape keeps a lock alive on a target still being hit, which keeps the chain of kills going.
