Losing the use of the specialized anti-structure [[thump cannon]] will significantly delay the raid, as they will instead be forced to destroy walls in their path with their more traditional weaponry. This gives you time to prepare a defense behind that section of wall. |
Typically this raid strategy will result in the mechanoids clumping up, giving a prime target for [[EMP grenades]] or a [[triple rocket launcher]], hopefully to devastating effect. Note the mechs will not attack colonists unless they come into the range of the mechanoid's gun. The long range of the triple rocket launcher is beneficial here, only putting the wielder in range of the [[pikeman|pikemen's]] needle gun. | Typically this raid strategy will result in the mechanoids clumping up, giving a prime target for [[EMP grenades]] or a [[triple rocket launcher]], hopefully to devastating effect.
