{{ | The {{name}} is the primary weapon of the {{favilink|Chrome Pyramid}}. It fires a barrage of missiles which do substantial damage to anything nearby - enemies, structures, and potentially even an incautious wielder. They can be found in tier 8 zones from corpses that are generated in caves, mounted on {{favilink|swarm turret|plural}} placed by {{favilink|Dynamic turret tinker|plural}}, or most consistently as the armament of {{favilink|Chrome Pyramid|plural}}. It is one of the few items that can be [[Disassemble|disassembled]] for {{bits|8}}. | ||
== Obtaining == | |||
{{Cleanup|This section mixes opinion with fact and could benefit from being reorganized.}} | |||
Removing a swarm rack from a hostile {{favilink|Chrome Pyramid}} or {{favilink|swarm turret}} requires significant caution, due to the high damage output of the swarm rack itself. Raising [[reputation]] with [[robots]] above -250 will make them non-hostile by default. Alternatively, [[EMP grenades]] will disable them temporarily, including the force field on a Pyramid. | |||
{{favilink|Chrome Pyramid|plural}} are more dangerous than {{favilink|swarm turret|plural}}, and possess a force field which must be dealt with (via EMP, [[normality]], a {{favilink|force modulator}}, or other method) in order to remove their swarm rack. However, they are more easily found on the surface in the {{favilink|Moon Stair}} (whereas the turrets are only found deep underground). | |||
Ways to remove the swarm rack include: | |||
- The [[Pistol]] skill [[Disarming Shot]] - note that this can trigger even if the pistols do not penetrate. Shots that do no damage will not make the target hostile, so this is a relatively safe option to use against non-hostile robots with low-PV pistols. {{favilink|chain pistol|plural}} have several shots per round, which increases the probability per turn against an EMP-disabled target. | |||
- The [[Long Blade]] skill [[Swipe]] with [[Dueling Stance]]. This is guaranteed to hit and penetrate once, making the target hostile, but gives the target a [[strength]] save to resist it. | |||
- The [[serrated]] mod adds a 3% dismemberment chance to weapon attacks even when they fail to penetrate. However, this takes time to trigger and will not always remove one of the limbs on which the {{name}} is equipped. | |||
- The [[Axe]] skills [[Dismember]] and [[Berserk]] also allow for dismemberment, but require the attack to penetrate the target's armor. Critical hits with melee weapons are guaranteed to penetrate at least once, so the [[masterwork]] mod could be helpful here. Like [[serrated]], these take time and effort to trigger. | |||
== Advantages and Disadvantages == | |||
{{Opinion}} | |||
=== Advantages === | |||
* '''Theoretically''', it has an extraordinarily high damage output per turn, as it fires 10 rockets per shot, each of which does a large amount of damage. | |||
* It can be disassembled for three high-tier bits. | |||
=== Disadvantages === | |||
* It is incredibly heavy, weighing 1500 lbs by default. This can be reduced to 750 lbs. with the [[Strapping Shoulders]] skill (from unlocking the [[Heavy Weapon]] skill tree), and further with the [[Slender]] and [[Willowy]] item mods. With the [[Tinker III]] skill, the [[Fitted with suspensors]] mod is another way of dealing with the rack's enormous weight. With either of these methods, it becomes feasible to carry the {{name}} itself. | |||
* It also requires a huge number of [[HE Missile|HE Missiles]], each of which weighs 2 lbs. A single full shot takes 20 lbs., and filling up the ammo takes 200 lbs. Suspensors will remove the weight of the missiles within the {{name}} itself, but not offset the amount required to reload. | |||
* As a gigantic weapon, it takes up four missile weapon slots for non-colossal creatures (like most players). This means most players will be unable to wield it themselves. | |||
* Its low accuracy means that its damage output is very unreliable in practice. It can miss relatively nearby enemies and hit neutral or friendly creatures. | |||
* Due to its explosive nature, it cannot be used in tight quarters and very likely to destroy any loot dropped by enemies or lying around. | |||
