Disarming or dismembering a {{favilink|Chrome Pyramid}} is easier said than done. If you can raise your [[reputation]] with [[robots]] high enough, Pyramids will not be hostile to the player by default, which is extraordinarily helpful. Shooting them will not make them hostile unless they take damage, so {{favilink|chain pistol|chain pistols}} with the [[Disarming Shot]] skill are a safe way to remove the {{name}}, as they take multiple shots per round and are exceedingly unlikely to penetrate the Pyramid's 35 [[AV]] with their 8 [[PV]] even on a critical hit. This requires first disabling the force field, probably with an [[EMP]] or a source of [[normality gas]].

If you prefer to fight up close, the [[serrated]] mod adds a 3% dismemberment chance to weapon attacks even when they fail to penetrate. The [[masterwork]] mod on an axe with [[Berserk!]] is another way to potentially dismember a Pyramid, as critical hits with melee weapons are guaranteed to penetrate at least once, which with Berserk active will guarantee dismemberment. Alternatively, you can use the [[Long Blade]] skill [[Swipe]], with [[Dueling Stance]], to disarm the Pyramid without dismembering it. All of these methods involve damaging it at least once, so it will become hostile and attack with its distortion field afterwards. If you accidentally penetrate the Pyramid's armor without removing the {{name}}, or it is hostile by default, you will also have to contend with its rockets. To get through the force field, you can use the methods above, or a {{favilink|force modulator}}.
