CODEX

The remotely triggered Castanas quietly deliver a lethal dose of electricity to unsuspecting enemies.

The Castanas are a throwing type secondary weapons with  Electricity detonation charge that can be detonated remotely by using the Alternate Fire, much like the  Penta. Although lacking in throwing speed like other thrown weapons, they can be stacked up to six then detonated all at once to create a wide array of crowd controlling opportunities, thanks to their electrical explosion and chaining effects.

Notes

• The normal animation and arc behaves similar to other thrown secondary weapons.

Trivia

• The Castanas are the first thrown secondary weapon that delivers Area of Effect damage.
• The detonation feature is similar to that of the  Penta grenade launcher, which also allowed users to detonate on command.
• The word Castañas means "chestnuts" in Spanish and Greek, judging how the knives are thrown, then "open" themselves, revealing their explosive cores.
• The Castanas are the first throwable weapon of its kind to be thrown in "Semi-auto".
