Red Text
Where you at? Where you at? Where you at?

This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.

★ A firepower-specialized assault rifle made by Vladof that fires rockets automatically just by shooting. It is equipped with a “Rip Rocket” that automatically launches rockets from the underbarrel in sync with normal fire. No switching or separate ammunition is needed; just spraying bullets lets you deliver a combined bullet + explosion attack.

🧩 Origin of the red text Both the weapon name and the red text are based on the legendary meme “Wombo Combo” from the Super Smash Bros. Melee community (verified on Fandom). In a 2008 tournament clip, a commentator screamed during a set combo, shouting “WOMBO COMBO!!” “Where you at?! Where you at?!” This became famous. The repeated “Where you at?” in the red text is exactly that commentator’s line. The gun’s behavior (bullet + automatic rocket “combined attack = combo”) matches the naming.

What kind of assault rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)

• Made by Vladof, the LegendaryAR. Its feature is the unique ability “Rip Rocket”
• When fired normally, rockets automatically fly from the underbarrel (no switching operation or separate ammo pool needed)
• Roughly one rocket per a certain number of shots (Web info says one per 5 shots). Bullets + explosions boost DPS
• Rockets deal kinetic damage regardless of element, so choose the weapon’s element according to enemy resistances

Unique effect (mechanics)

Rip Rockets: underbarrel from automatically fire rockets. The rockets deal kinetic damage.

• In-game: When firing, rockets are automatically launched from the underbarrel (Rip Rocket)
• Web (Lootlemon): Rip Rockets - Rockets automatically fire from underbarrel (33% Crit Damage? / Adjusted in the 2026-01-29 update to receive damage from Underdog Enhancement)
• Rockets fire every certain number of shots (Web: 1 per 5 shots) / damage is always kinetic
• Weakness: Since the rockets’ kinetic damage is fixed, damage that exploits enemy elemental resistances relies on the main gun’s fire
