Overview

The Buoy is a Legendary Ripper Grenade from the unique enemy known as 'Voraxis' in the Timid Kyle's Neglected Opening Abandoned Auger Mine in the Fadefields.

It fires out a stationary mine, designed to imitate a buoy- in which it will float in place for a moderate duration before detonating, or until an enemy comes into close proximity.
