− | + | Cover can be anything that has the possibility to stop a fired bullet from hitting the intended target. Cover in RimWorld can be found in several forms, some examples are: [[Rubble]], [[Sandbags]], [[Wall|Walls]], the [[Saguaro_cactus|Saguaro cactus]], and even [[animals]].<br/> | |

− | + | Cover can be divided in 2 ways, ''high/low cover'' or ''natural/artificial cover''.<br/> | |
− | ''' | + | High cover usually provides better cover than low cover.<br/> |
− | + | Artificial cover has a tendency to either start burning, exploding or both, natural cover will, at worst, burn.<br/> | |
− | + | High cover is something that you can lean around to shoot, low cover is something you can shoot over.<br/> | |
− | + | Natural cover is anything that can protect you on a newly generated map, artificial cover is anything you build, even debris that you move could potentially count as artificial cover. | |

− | + | The corners of the mountains are effective cover if the raiders come from the right angle. If they come from the wrong angle it can easily become a [[Death_trap|death trap]]. | |
− | + | === [[Rubble]] === | |
+ | [[Rubble]] is littered all over the map and will be used by attackers to gain an advantage over you. You can also use rubble for protection, but the random rubble placement is unlikely to favor you, so it's advisable to use it as a last resort | ||
− | + | Rubble, in combination with a dumping area, can provide a free alternative to sandbag emplacements in the early game when Metal is scarce.<br/> | |

− | A [[ | + | A last resort to cover if you have nothing else can be animal(s), by having animal(s) between your colonist(s) and the attackers, they can actually work as a makeshift cover by being hit instead of your colonists. (I learned this from personal experience, when a squirrel got in the crossfire and got hit from a raiders [[M-24]] bullet, and instantly died which means the squirrel was a one time cover). |
− | === | + | ===[[Darkness]]=== |
− | + | Darkness will not stop bullets (obviously) but it will increase the miss chance. | |
+ | When in a firefight it helps to keep your colonists in the darkness while the enemies are in light areas. | ||
− | == | + | ==Artificial cover== |
− | + | Artifical covers is anything that you can build, (in a sense [[rock rubble]] could be counted as artificial cover after you have moved it, and is using it as cover). | |
− | == | + | === [[Sandbag|Sandbags]] === |
− | + | [[Sandbag]]s are the easiest and cheapest method of protection. U shapes are good for one character to hide in. Zigzag patterns will allow multiple characters to cover close together, which is handy if you want to focus fire on a few attackers. | |
− | + | Sandbags enclosing a turret make a great attack point But keep the turret repaired, as it will explode when destroyed and can damaged nearby characters, a good practice is to leave a 1 [[tile]] gap (or make it a hole with sandbags on the back of the tile too) in the back (most protected side) where a colonist can stand and repair the turret and still be mostly in cover, but be prepared to make the colonist run away when the sparks begin to fly from the turret. | |

Most things that you can build can also stop bullets, although they take damage and will eventually be destroyed, catch fire or explode, if not repaired in time. | Most things that you can build can also stop bullets, although they take damage and will eventually be destroyed, catch fire or explode, if not repaired in time. | ||
