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. It can be obtained by [[disarming]] or [[dismember|dismembering]] a {{favilink|Chrome Pyramid}} or a {{favilink|swarm turret}}. It is one of the few items that can be [[Disassemble|disassembled]] for {{bits|8}}.
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}}.

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|Deathlands}} (whereas the turrets are only found deep underground).

* It doesn't have an especially high monetary value, especially when taking in account all associated obtainment and logistical troubles - a simple {{favilink|laser rifle}} is worth more than double the amount.
