Tactical Information

  • As the Orbital Railcannon fires an exceptionally precise projectile, it will very rarely hit more than one enemy, since it typically chooses targets that are larger than its minuscule area of effect.
  • The projectile nearly always hits the center of mass of whichever enemy or structure it targets.
  • Every enemy currently in the game will die reliably to a single shot from the Orbital Railcannon, except for Factory Striders.
  • If no other viable target is in the area, the Orbital Railcannon will target nearby Terminid Bug Hole, Spore Spewer, Shrieker Nest, or Automaton Fabricator. If a valid target cannot be found, the Railcannon Strike will target the precise spot where its beacon landed.
    • The Orbital Railcannon can be used to destroy Detector Towers, Stratagem Jammers, and Rogue Research Stations. However, the Railcannon cannot lock onto these structures, so it must be "dumbfired" by ensuring there are no other valid targets in a wide area around the structure.
