Rocket artillery! Encourage biters to give you personal space!

This lovingly kit-bashed low-tech beauty rocks a respectable 90 max range, but comes with a wide minimum range, long reload, and a fixed 8-directional facing. It won't win any DPS contests, and it's not gonna save you by itself, but it's great for softening up incoming threats.

Depending on your enemy settings, it might also help prevent expansion parties from settling on your porch. Also? pleasant to listen to and pretty at night, just like me!

You might get along with the DEER "Rocket artillery" if ...

  • You enjoy the sound of explosions.
  • You prefer turrets which are a bit awkward and demanding. (Also like me).
  • You are a curious critter who plans to ignore the warning that specifically instructs you to remove the DEER artillery rocket from its crate before use, but remember to save before you do so.

You might want to keep moving if ...

  • You want turrets which make you more powerful with no drawbacks.
  • You think logistics is boring. (I don't think we can be friends, sorry. It's not you , it's me.)
  • You plan to ignore the warning that specifically instructs you to remove the DEER artillery rocket from its crate before use, but forget to save beforehand.

Future plans

  • More rocket types if and as I feel up to it, as soon as interesting enemy mods pop up that justify stronger defenses.
  • Soundscape refinements.
