The tripcaster is a type of weapon that creates tripwire-based traps, ideally used across enemy patrol routes or in narrow places.
It specializes in three elemental types: shock, fire, and blast. It is used to "trip" machines, either shocking them, burning them, or deal a portion of damage. Like the Ropecaster, this weapon is more useful on larger machines.
