I just got counter-sniping 3. How do I apply flushingshot2 so it hits multiple targets? Do I have to target multiple MOBs? How do you do that? Do all targets in my "cone" automatically get hit, including lairs? Is there a way to "de-select" a target from the group?

TIA

if any of this is inaccurate, i'm sure someone will correct me shortly.

an AOE shot will hit every mob IN THE CONE (it's fairly wide) that is CURRENTLY ENGAGED (has a combat icon, the 'X' beside it's name).

if you see a group of pikets standing around a lair, and you open up with flushing2 on one of them, the first shot will only damage the one you're targetting, but all the other pikets in the cone will 'light up' (you'll see ham bars above their heads and they will agro you)

your 2nd flushing2 shot will deal damage to everything in the conethat you agro'dfrom the first shot.

if they were already attacking something, your flushing2 would deal dmg to all of them on the first try. AOE's hit everything in the cone that is hittable (non-friendly's) -you cannot pick and choose what gets hit and what doesn't, so be careful around things you cannot take on/don't wish to take on.

the only exception is stun damage from the jawa rifle does NOT cause damage to a lair. even if you sit there spamming headshots - a lair's ham will not go down. so if you have a bunch of mobs standing around a lair and you want to kill them but not spawn more, use an AOE with the jawa rifle. By bug, or design, it's a handy 'flaw'.

hope that helps!

That is a great tip about the jawa ion rifle never knew that. thanks!
