Each weapon system has its own training segment with on-screen prompts. The timed exercise at the end requires destroying all target dummies within 90 seconds using a combination of all four weapon types. The machine gun handles distant targets, the cannon clears groups, the EMP disables shielded dummies, and the ram crushes the final row.18181919Tips20202121The cannon has a wide blast radius but a long reload time. Use it on clustered groups, then switch to the machine gun for stragglers.The EMP is essential against shielded targets. Without it, shielded dummies take almost no damage from other weapons.The ram deals the highest single-hit damage. Line up multiple targets in a row before charging for maximum efficiency.The ATAG becomes your primary offensive mount for the rest of Chapter 10 and is usable in select encounters afterward.22222323Related Quests24242525Master of the IronworksClockwork Insect Clash
