In-game description

The Leary Shellbore 68mm (also known as "Emplaced AT Gun" or "EAT") is a Warden Emplacement equipped with a 68mm cannon.

Crew

It has no AI and must be manned by a player. It has one seat:

  • Gunner
    • Rotates the turret by aiming with RMB
    • Fires and reloads the cannon

The large front shield protects well from small arms incoming fire but the gunner is susceptible to sniper rifle fire and gas.

Armament

It's armed with:

  • 68mm Cannon
    • Mounted on an emplacement (can rotate 360 degrees, turns 7° per second)
    • Ammo Used: 68mm
    • Range: 45 meters
    • Reload Duration: 2.5 seconds
    • Firing Duration: 1 seconds
    • Fire Rate: 17.1 per minute

It has a dedicated ammo slot that can hold 40 68mm shells.

Interactions

It can be interacted with either on foot, or in a vehicle by pressing E. The enemy players cannot interact or use it.

Transportation

As an Emplacement it cannot move on its own, and must be packaged and lifted by Shippable#Cranes in order to be moved anywhere. It can be transported by shipping vehicles.

Placement

It can be placed pretty much anywhere on land, even on top of other structures. It can be placed within 60 meters of a region's border ("no build" zone), however it will still quickly decay there. The only notable place where it can't be placed is Bridges.

It can also be placed inside a Trench Emplacement. Doing so quadruples its health and doubles its rotation speed. However if the Trench Emplacement is destroyed, the Emplacement goes along with it.

Visibility

It is invisible at night, just like infantry. It can also be hidden by being placed inside large bushes, but is revealed to people within 10m. Only its firing effects (smoke and flashes from the barrel) will betray its presence. This only works if it's not packaged.

Trivia

  • Prior to Update 1.50 ('Inferno'), the Leary Shellbore 68mm was known as the "68mm Anti-Tank Cannon" and was faction-neutral. It became Warden-exclusive and was renamed after the introduction of the Colonial DAE 1o-3 “Polybolos”.
