| — In-game description |
The Leary Shellbore 68mm (also known as an Emplaced AT Gun, Emplaced Anti-Tank or EAT) is a Warden Anti-Tank Emplacement. It is equipped with a direct-fire 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
- Rotates the turret by aiming with
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 crane 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.

Tactics
The Leary Shellbore 68mm is an anti-tank emplacement specially designed to defend against direct enemy armored assaults. Like all defensive emplacements, they need to be placed in front of other defenses in order to be used effectively. When designing/placing them, they should be in the front, alongside Trenches, to ensure that they have a wider field-of-fire, allowing the Emplacement to fire at any target without worrying about hitting friendly structures.
In order to maximize its survivability and overall effectiveness, it should be placed in a Trench Emplacement. Despite the benefits, depending on the location, it may be sufficient to place it on the ground in an area where it can reliably shoot at enemy vehicles.
Priority Targets
Trench Emplacement Defenses
Due to them gaining bonuses when emplaced, it is highly recommended to emplace them whenever possible. Despite this, the Gunner is exposed, which means that nearby defenses need to be built in a way that reduces the enemy infantry flanking, and decrewing.
Trivia
- Prior to 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”.
