If a victim is locked on by Whistler, they will have a warning banner that say "missile locked.".Once launched, the lock will be maintained the bullet can make one turn in mid-air.If line-of-sight is broken, or goes beyond 75m, the lock will be maintained for another 3 seconds. Holding the Tactical button will delay the launch while enabling the auto-reticle if locked on, reticle will turn from blue to yellow.The overheat effect will still apply as normal. If a player is hit by the bubble instead of being directly hit, they will receive 5 damage instead of 20.The bubble is visible through walls, but a player will only be affected by the dart if they enter the bubble while in line-of-sight of the dart.If the Whistler does not hit a target directly, it will temporarily stick to surfaces, creating a visible area-of-effect bubble that will cause the dart to hit an enemy if they get too close.After not firing for one second, the heat meter will gradually deplete again.The heat meter will fill as the player fires their weapon.


Effect lasts 8 seconds, during which time if the victim fires their weapon for too long, they will receive 30 damage and be unable to fire their weapon for 1 second.
