Author of the Recoilless Rifle Mod: mlie

Recoilless Rifle Mod adds a manned recoilless rifle turret that becomes available after researching mortars. It can fire a wide range of specialized shells, giving you a flexible support weapon for explosives, anti-armor attacks, smoke coverage, and crowd control.

Recoilless Rifle Features

Recoilless Rifle Mod introduces a buildable turret with the following characteristics:

  • Manned weapon: The turret must be operated by a pawn.
  • Line of fire restrictions: It cannot shoot over walls.
  • Low muzzle velocity: Shots travel more slowly than standard high-velocity weapons.
  • Build cost: 100 Steel and 3 Components.
  • Research requirement: Unlocks after completing mortar research.

Ammunition types

  • HE shell: A standard high-explosive shell that detonates on impact.
  • Cluster bomb: Splits into 8 bomblets for wide area damage.
  • Incendiary cluster bomb: Releases 20 small incendiary bombs.
  • HEAT shell: A high explosive anti-tank round that deals extra damage on direct hits.
  • Shotgun shell: Fires 100 pellets that disperse over longer distances.
  • Canister shot: Uses a timed fuse and keeps the same bullet dispersion at any distance.
  • Smoke shell: Creates smoke on impact and reduces the hit chance of bullets passing through it by 70%. It can also be used to burn targets.
  • EMP shell: Effective against mechanoids and electrical targets.
  • Armor piercing shell: A simple shell with improved armor penetration.
  • Sabot round: A stronger anti-armor round with higher penetration.
