Related traits

 Explosives

•  Shrapnel — Explosions have a chance to cripple and cause bleeding on hit.
•  Steel-Packed Powder — Explosions cause vulnerability.

 Scrapper

•  Kinetic Accelerators — Grant boons to nearby allies when you successfully combo a field with a blast or leap finisher. Your function gyro is now a blast finisher.

Notes

• Despite the tooltip suggesting the skill scales with power, it appears to deal a consistent ~750 damage against a heavy armor target at level 80.
• The damage from this skill originates from the Gyro itself and does not scale with power.
• Damage from this skill does not appear in the combat log.

Anomaly:

Compared to other gyro self-destruct skills, this skill deals around 900 less damage. ^{[verification requested]}

Bugs:

The tooltip for PvE/WvW states a damage coefficient of 7.112, while other self-destruct skills state a coefficient of 0.6. The skills API lists a coefficient of 0.6 as well. However, this skill does not scale with the player's power.

 Damage: 160 (0.6)^?
