This skill is invaluable in taking out crew ships during Railjack missions. To use the Archwing Slingshot, you must know where it’s located on your ship. You’ll be positioned in the bridge when you load into a Railjack mission. From here, you must turn around to head to the rear of your ship.

The slingshot will launch you around 3,000 meters away so that it will be a long flight back to your ship.
