"The Saber fires a tracking missile that will only lock onto vehicles or Humans who are in the air. It takes 3 seconds to lock onto a target, and cannot be fired without a lock."

The Saber Launcher is the default secondary weapon for the Doombringer. The Saber Launcher requires a 3 second lock-on before it can fire, and the enemy being targeted is not notified until 1.4 seconds after the lock-on has started. Once it fires, the missile will follow the enemy that was targeted until the missile is destroyed, or hits the 20 second lifespan. The Saber can only target enemies that are within 35 degrees of the weapon.
