Mounted Weapons, or Tripod Weapons, are a class of large heavy weapons that must be placed on a mount (either a Deployed Tripod, certain vehicles, or certain structures) in order to be fired.

Use

Deploying

If used on a tripod you must first deploy one on the ground. Pick up a tripod then press Keyboard b.png to get in placement mode, hold Mouse right.svg to rotate and press Mouse left.svg to place it. The tripod has a specific orientation that determines the firing arc of the weapon mounted on it.

Pick up the weapon and press Keyboard b.png to get in placement mode, aim at the mounting point (tripod or vehicle) and press Mouse left.svg. Hold Keyboard shift.png to disable the auto-snap feature (useful if two mounting points are close together).

Firing the Weapon

Once the weapon is installed on top of a tripod, press Keyboard q.png while crouched to get on the tripod mounted weapon. If the gun is higher than the gunner you may need to stand. The firing arc of the weapon is determined by the orientation of the tripod. You need to uninstall and reinstall the tripod if you want to change it. The weapon's inventory can be accessed by pressing Keyboard e.png. The weapon's ammunition can be stored inside or kept in the gunner's inventory when firing. The weapon is fired just like any other weapon.

Undeploying

To uninstall the weapon and its tripod, press Keyboard e.png to open the weapon menu and click the Pack Up BtDisassembleTripod.png button at the bottom. Once uninstalled the tripod, weapon, and its ammunition drop on the ground. Pressing Keyboard v.png to pick the weapon up.

If undeploying from a vehicle or structure, open its menu and click the "Detach Tripod Weapon" button BtDisassembleTripod.png in the bottom right corner of the menu.

Like all Large Items, you can press Keyboard shift.png+Keyboard v.png to drop the weapon on the ground and Keyboard v.png to submit it to a structure's inventory or stockpile.
