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. | 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.
