Kinetic Flak • Tier 1 120 DPS

Twin Kinetic Flak Cannon MK-I

Rapid-firing twin autocannon firing high-explosive fragmentation shells. Ideal for shredding lightweight swarmers and flying pests before they latch onto outer scaffolding.

Best Deployed Against: Zyrex Skitterer Scouts & Aerial Spore Divers

Ammunition / Energy Draw: Kinetic Shells

Tactical Guidance: Requires a continuous supply line of Kinetic Shells from a Munitions Assembler. Position along outer crane perimeters.

Direct Energy Laser • Tier 2 280 DPS

Continuous Focused Laser Battery MK-II

Emits a concentrated coherent thermal beam that superheats and melts dense chitin plates in seconds. Bypasses kinetic deflector carapaces completely.

Best Deployed Against: Armored Carapace Breachers & Heavy Bio-Tanks

Ammunition / Energy Draw: None (Pure MW Energy)

Tactical Guidance: Consumes no physical ammo, but drains 22 MW of grid power. If reactors blackout during a siege, all lasers go offline immediately.

Electromagnetic Railgun • Tier 3 540 DPS

Heavy Electromagnetic Railgun MK-III

Massive linear accelerator firing tungsten-composite penetrator darts at hypersonic velocity. Punches through multiple layers of stone to snipe artillery organisms miles away.

Best Deployed Against: Distant Bile Artillery Striders & Colossus Leviathans

Ammunition / Energy Draw: Heavy Alloy Slugs

Tactical Guidance: Slow reload cycle (8 seconds). Pair with rapid-fire flak cannons to prevent light swarms from overwhelming its firing platform.

Area Denial EMP • Tier 2 80 DPS

EMP Resonance Shockwave Disrupter

Discharges intense electrostatic pulses that overload the nervous systems of biomechanical organisms, freezing whole swarm waves in place for 10-14 seconds.

Best Deployed Against: Mass Swarm Incursions & Flying Flocks

Ammunition / Energy Draw: EMP Capacitor Cells

Tactical Guidance: Position directly in front of the Command Core Hub as an emergency choke-point defense. Stunned enemies take +50% extra damage from kinetic flak.

Structural Barrier • Tier 1 Structural Shield

Reinforced Ferro-Concrete Blast Barrier

Heavy structural bulkhead anchored into the cliff face with interlocking steel plates. Absorbs direct impacts and acid spittle, shielding residential modules behind it.

Best Deployed Against: Absorbing Bile Acid Mortars & Ramming Attacks

Ammunition / Energy Draw: None (Pure MW Energy)

Tactical Guidance: Costs 0 MW of power. Erect sacrificial blast walls around power generators and life support hubs.
