CORE EJECTS by themselves are not very useful, as the same explosion with the same damage can be created by simply projectile boosting. However, red explosions created by shooting cores in the air with hitscans deal double damage with double radius, making them a viable use for core ejects. Utilizing the unique, high-damage red explosion created by the Malicious Railcannon allows for amazing crowd control, dealing massive damage to enemies caught in its considerable radius. This can come in handy in the Cyber Grind, where many enemies will usually be crowded into a tight space.

Utilizing the pump feature can be useful against high health enemies, and one can consistently double pump their shotgun to pepper an enemy with high damage blasts. Against a large crowd of enemies, the inaccuracy of a double pumped blast can be negated due to the wide spread of enemies to hit. Pumping the shotgun can also be useful when shotgun parrying, as it adds a considerable amount of damage on top of the bonus damage granted by parrying.

The overcharge blast is incredibly useful, as it can propel V1 very quickly and wipe out large groups of enemies. The damage on the overcharge can be completely avoided as well by dashing just before firing. This is great for wiping out groups of lower enemies, such as clusters of Filth or swarms of Drones. Precise damage boosting via overcharge blast is also a vital skill to learn for the Cyber Grind, as it gives the player a chance to recover after being knocked far away from the arena along with a way to handle the hordes of strong enemies that crowd together.
