Mounted Weapons
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
to get in placement mode, hold to rotate and press
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
to get in placement mode, aim at the mounting point (tripod or vehicle) and press . Hold
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
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
. 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
to open the weapon menu and click the Pack Up
button at the bottom. Once uninstalled the tripod, weapon, and its ammunition drop on the ground. Pressing
to pick the weapon up.
If undeploying from a vehicle or structure, open its menu and click the "Detach Tripod Weapon" button
in the bottom right corner of the menu.
Like all Large Items, you can press
+
to drop the weapon on the ground and
to submit it to a structure's inventory or stockpile.
