What it's good for

Throw it to clear a path or pull a pack onto a Proximity Bomb or Remote Bomb. It even works on Horde Swarmers, unlike rocks.

Compared with the Attractor Bomb

The Attractor Bomb kills what it gathers. The plain Attractor is cheaper and better for steering enemies. Carry both if parts allow.
