The '''Orbital mech cluster targeter''' is a powerful single-use [[utility]] artifact that calls a [[mechanoid cluster]] down on the targeted location. These [[mechanoids]] are not allied to the user in any way, and behave as normal mechanoids do.
+
The '''Orbital mech cluster targeter''' is a powerful single-use artifact.
  
== Acquisition ==
+
It requires manual targeting, and has a 3 second activation time. Once activated, a [[mechanoid cluster]] will spawn in the targeted area. The [[mechanoids]] within will be hostile to everyone except other mechanoids, they'll even be hostile to the user.
Orbital mech cluster targeters cannot be crafted. They can only be acquired through [[trade]], as a [[quest]] reward, or found in [[ancient shrine]]s.
+
They are in every way a mech cluster you can summon, with all the help and hindrance that can bring. Use with caution and remember it does not help against other mechanoids.
 
 
== Summary ==
 
{{Stub|section=1|reason=More detail needed inc. What point value do they use? Are they always the same size or do they scale with [[raid points]]?}}
 
When equipped, an orbital mech cluster targeter is worn in the waist [[Utility|utility slot]]. Pawns that are incapable of violence can equip, but not use, the targeter. Once the wearer is [[draft]]ed, it can be manually activated by the player to target a tile within 45 tiles and within [[line of sight]]. It can be targeted under roofs of all types but pods landing on overhead mountain will cause cave-ins and create [[collapsed rocks]], destroying the pod and its occupants in the process.
 
 
 
After a 3s warm-up, a [[mechanoid cluster]] will spawn in the targeted area. The warmup time before firing is affected by the [[Aiming Time]] stat of the wearer. This cluster is identical to other clusters but will never spawn with a [[condition causer]]. The [[mechanoids]] within are not allied to the user in any way, and behave as normal mechanoids do. They will be hostile to everyone except other mechanoids.
 
 
 
The targeter cannot be recharged or refueled - once its single charge is expended, the item is completely destroyed.
 
  
{{Utility Note}}
+
It has a targeting range of 45 tiles, and requires a line of sight from the user to the target i.e. it cannot target through walls.
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Essentially missing analysis}}
 
They are in every way a mech cluster you can summon, with all the help and hindrance that can bring. Use with caution and remember it does not help against other mechanoids.
