Devastator Modules

The NAM Terratech Heavy Assault Armorsuit - "Devastator" is complete with the usage of one of three available backpack modules, each adding a number of weapons to the unit. Each backpack module is listed below.

Twin Plasma Lance Cannons

Considered to be the standard backpack unit, this backpack unit contains two miniaturized Plasma Lance Cannons and the machinery required to support their use. The Plasma Lance Cannons are charged by the Devastator's own reactors, giving it effectively unlimited ammo.

The Twin Plasma Lance Cannons are intended to provide precise close range direct fire capability to the Devastator, with the stated purpose of reliably killing enemy tanks and armors.

  • Primary Purpose: Anti-Armor.
  • Secondary Purpose: Suppressive fire
  • Damage Tier: Tier 9 Heavy Anti-Mecha from each barrel
  • Range: 2km in atmosphere, 100km in space
  • Rate of Fire: 6 per minute
  • Payload: Infinite as long as power is supplied.

Twin 12.7mm Chaingun

Intended to be lighter and less overkill than the plasma cannons, the Devastator can also mount a pair of 12.7mm chainguns. These chainguns are more for use as a suppressive weapon against enemy infantry and lighter armors than as a pure anti-armor weapon, but do have some use in anti-air and anti-swarm tactics.

  • Purpose: Anti-Armor
  • Secondary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
  • Damage: Varies depending on the ammunition.
  • Range: 750m in Atmosphere, Nearly Unlimited in Space
  • Rate of Fire: Up to 750 RPM
  • Payload: Roughly 2,500 rounds contained in a built-in box magazine

Twin 55mm Railguns

With a near endless supply of easy to make and produce UMD Canisters, a weapons system for the Devastator that could deploy them was a no-brainer. Coming with a large ammunition backpack, the Twin 55mm railguns give the Devastator a weaon that can be used both for direct and indirect fire support.

  • Purpose: Anti-Armor
  • Secondary Purpose: Anti-Personnel
  • Damage: Variable
  • Range: 2.5 KM in Atmosphere, Nearly Unlimited in Space
  • Rate of Fire: 12 RPM
  • Payload: 42 Rounds in box magazine
