228 Satterley Heavy Storm Rifle
“ | While the Satterley is designed to be operated by a single infantryman, it remains a cumbersome rifle due to its heavy kickback and burst fire configuration. This heavy burst rifle is best suited for small squads to blindside enemy armour, stripping steel with ease, but its cumbersome setup makes it less than ideal for infantry skirmishes. | „ |
— In-game description |
The 228 Satterley Heavy Storm Rifle is a Warden 2-round burst Anti-Tank Rifle. It fires 20mm ammunition.
Description
The 228 Satterley Heavy Storm Rifle is a Warden 2-round burst 20mm primary weapon with 112-168 Anti-Tank Kinetic damage, high fire rate (240 rounds/min), long range (29.5m effective, 40m max), 10-round magazine, and bad accuracy. Moving or firing significantly decreases the gun's accuracy so it is best fired from a very stable position like crouched behind cover. It also slows the player when wielded.
It can be used against infantry at medium range to defend oneself however it's not very cost-effective.
It is effective against unarmoured and light armoured vehicles but struggles against heavy armored vehicles like Tanks or Field Weapons. It damages the integrity of vehicle Tank Armour by an amount equal to twice the damage dealt.
It can destroy deployed tripods but does no damage to all other structures.
It can suppress infantry, garrisoned defenses, and all vehicle gunners.
It is relatively heavy (200). The Soldier Uniform can reduce its weight by 25%.
It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).

Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures Tech Tree in order to be produced.
Storage
It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot).It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of 228 Satterley Heavy Storm Rifle can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.
Tactics
Due to the movement penalty when equipped, it can be advantageous to switch to a secondary weapon when on the move.
Trivia
It is possibly inspired by the shoulder-fired Robinson SR-14 heavy machine gun.
