Artillery Jam Information

FIRE MISSION 001
ARTILLERY JAM
Use a projectile in an indirect manner to achieve an effect.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Shooter games will not be considered artillery-themed, as the projectiles are fired directly at the targets. For the artillery theme, projectiles must lob in an arc or trajectory, or otherwise indirectly, toward the target to be affected.
