Prepare for the Encounter

Weapons solve different problems. The Sledgehammer is dependable at close range, handheld spud weapons create distance, and mountable weapons belong to a powered or manually aimed creation. Ammunition, cover, and an escape route matter as much as the weapon itself.

Combat Checks

  • Move the vehicle and fragile storage away from the fight before engaging a heavy bot.
  • Prioritize explosive and ranged threats instead of firing at the nearest target by habit.
  • Budget ammunition for the return route and avoid entering a Warehouse with only a partial stack.
