Railgun Mechanics

Railgun is a heavy support Weapon that can pierce Heavy Armor and do serious damage.

It have its own unique place in Support weapons department and liked by many helldivers.

Railgun Have 2 Firing Modes:

• Safe Fire mode (default) - Railgun Can penetrate Medium armor and kills most medium armored enemies in 1 shot. Its being deflected by heavy armor.
• Unsafe fire mode - Railgun Penetrates Heavy Armor. Usually Railgun is being used in unsafe mode to fight heavy enemies. In order to get extra damage helldivers should overcharge Railgun over Safe mode level, otherwise the shot will just bounce from the heavy armor.
  • Charger can be killed in 2 shots when aimed at its leg, 6 in the head.
  • Bile Titan can be killed with multiple shots to its head.
  • Hulk Dominator can be killed in one head shot even with Safe Mode on.

Overcharging Unsafe Mode and going over the weapon charging capacity will make Railgun explode, most likely killing the user.
