Once I used this consumable to bring down bombs on a target area, but when I went to check the item had changed. It’s just a single shot rifle with a knockback effect on the enemy. It’s not what it once was. Can it please be reverted back to its original state?

Whether something is either wrong or right, someone will always complain about it.

I am pretty confident that this is not a bug and would like you to give more information. I did some research. The wikipage is describing the single shot riffle with knockback effect as the effect. According to the history this has been so since the page was created (on february 2th, 2013). I’ve been through every update note before that (using CTRL+F to search each page for the word ‘marker’) and have not seen any change.

So I have to come to the conclusion this has been the items functionality since the release of the game.

There can be 2 possible explanations. You remember this effect from any of the Beta weekend events or closed beta. The game as it was then was not released, so any contend changed since then was never ment to be in the game.

The other explanation is that you have a different environmental weapon in mind but mixed up in your mind where you bought it or what the name was.

Arise, ye farmers of all nations
Arise, opressed of Tyria!

I remember that as of November/December 2012, upon the consumption of the item, a bomb shaped object appeared in the hands of your character, and when launched it caused a few bombs(mortar shells) to rain over the target area, much like the skill #5 of the vigil weaponry given to you by Tactician Lystratia to defeat the Champion Risen Giant.
Also, you can see that at the actual state the name makes no sense compared to weapon that results from it. That rifle has nothing to do with “bombardments”.

I’m sure I’m not mistaking because that was probably the first consumable environmental weapon I’ve ever bought. If it was changed intentionally, I’d at least want to know why.
