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}}. | ||

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.
