Energy Weapons

Why can't my Punisher shoot anything?

You may not have enough energy in your PPC's, you might be missing a TACS, or their magazine may be empty.

Punishers also require line of sight to targets that are in their map, this is because the velocity of the sabot rounds is too high to arc them over walls like mortars do, they can however shoot over walls if they are doing a fire mission on another map.

How does the ADS work and what is it useful for?

The ADS can fire a beam of microwaves through walls and cause pawns in a large area to flee in the opposite direction, this can be extremely useful for crowd control or herding enemies into positions that makes it easy for other weapons to target them.

Why wont it let me upgrade my energy weapons?

Some of the upgrade projects are blueprint upgrades which means any new weapons built will have those upgrades by default.

Why isn't the drop pod scrambler on the TACS working?

What should happen is when drop pods attempt to land in the middle of your base then the scrambler will try to force them to the edge of the map instead, but if the TACS couldn't pull enough power from any connected PPC's it might fail and send you a letter explaining how much power it required.

How do i setup PPC's properly without exploding half of my base from a short circuit?

This screenshot shows an example of how PPC's should be used, the weapons system including the PPC's has its own power net which is separate from the rest of the base and is supplied power from dedicated transformers.
