The mine will detonate after 5 seconds, dealing heavy damage in an explosion that can affect multiple enemies clustered near its primary target.
Point blank free#
Barret will be free to attack as normal while the mine ticks. This interrupts some enemies and will attach a sticky mine to them. Point Blank causes Barret to lunge forward and jab his target, before shooting them point blank. In Intergrade, it can outdamage level 1 limit breaks after using Refocus. When using Refocus Materia, Point Blank is the most powerful character ability when spending 3 ATB bars. Barret will have an interrupt defense of 60 while using Point Blank after spending three ATB charges, making him very hard to interrupt.Īmong all of Barret's abilities, Point Blank has the largest potential for damage, and is the second-most powerful ability in the game when expending 2 ATB, bested only by using Infinity's End against staggered targets. In Intergrade, the explosion will have an attack power of 1,300, for a total attack power of 1,815. In the PlayStation 4 version, the bomb has an attack power of 1,000, for a total attack power of 1,515. The initial hit will have an attack power of 60, while the second hit has an attack power of 455. Barret will have an interrupt defense of 60 while using Point Blank after spending two ATB charges, making him very hard to interrupt. In Intergrade, the explosion will have an attack power of 900, for a total attack power of 1,140. In the PlayStation 4 version, the bomb has an attack power of 700, for a total attack power of 940. The initial hit will have an attack power of 5, while the second hit has an attack power of 235. Barret will have an interrupt defense of 40 while using Point Blank after spending one ATB charge. In Intergrade, the explosion will have an attack power of 400, for a total attack power of 520. In the PlayStation 4 version, the bomb has an attack power of 300, for a total attack power of 420. The initial hit will have an attack power of 5, while the second hit has an attack power of 115. The more ATB charges consumed, the more damage will be dealt. This ability consumes all of Barret's current ATB gauges, up to three with Refocus. Each hit from Point Blank has an interrupt strength of 50. The second hit from the initial attack has a stagger rate of 1. Where Target's Physical Ranged Rate Modifier is the respective stagger rate modifier of the target *see table above for possible Power Modifiers Where Barret's Attack Power is his respective attribute, and Target's Defense is the respective attribute of the target

Interrupted by attacks with ≥60 interrupt strength (2 or 3 ATB charges) Interrupted by attacks with ≥40 interrupt strength (1 ATB charge) Interrupts targets with ≤50 interrupt defense First 2 hits have a small area-of-effect Bomb deals heavy physical ranged damage after 5 seconds Second hit deals physical ranged damage attaches a timed bomb to all targets hit The bomb will explode after 5 seconds, hitting all enemies within its radius. Barret will step forward to jab his target with his gun-arm and then fire, hitting all enemies within small radius in front of him, and attaching a timed bomb to them.
Point blank series#
Work from the series has been published in publications including Wired, The Atlantic, Daily Mail, Le Monde, and Esquire.Point Blank is an ability for Barret, which deals both physical melee and ranged damage. Work from the series was featured in Bruce MacDonald’s 2013 film The Husband and the Netflix series Hemlock Grove. Point Blank has been exhibited in Canada, US, UK, Switzerland, and France. What each project shares in is the power for the photographic medium to lend new aesthetic potential to its subjects-the recognition of the degree to which scale, detail, and context precariously mark the borders between meanings.

Indeed, the series recalls the dramatic firearm character studies Robert Longo’s Body Hammers (1993), but also the industrial typology of Bernd and HIlla Becher’s 1970s architectural grid series. These flawed, monolithic studies of Point Blank are born of curiosity rather than a desire to glorify danger, while supporting the many possible and conflicting readings the subject elicits. Presented with the “impossible perspective” of looking down a gun’s barrel-however unnerving-viewers are also offered a rare opportunity to study the imperfections of a cultural object both fetishized and feared. High-resolution images are made up of many separate shots, stitched together in post-production to maximize detail at such a large scale. In Point Blank, Lusztyk’s magnification of handguns at once anthropomorphizes and abstracts its subject to create demystified portraits of an infamous machine.
