− | == | + | ==Analysis== |
− | + | Centipedes are slow-moving and highly resistant to sharp damage, which includes bullets, so they require many shots to take down with guns. Centipedes are always equipped with a ranged weapon, with a range of 27 tiles. They will target doors, walls, base production tables and furniture. Centipedes have two major weaknesses: they are slow, and are ineffective against melee and scattered forces. | |
− | |||
− | + | [[Scyther]]s and [[lancer]]s are much faster than Centipedes, so they are easy to seperate. Once seperated, a pawn with a default movement speed using a long-ranged weapon ([[sniper rifle]] or [[charge lance]]) should be able to safely take a shot and move away before the Centipede is able to respond. | |
− | + | Centipedes in melee range are much less of a threat, provided pawns can safely close the distance. [[Shield belt]]s, drawing their fire from a different direction, [[Jump pack]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}}, letting pawns jump into melee range with almost no chance of being hit, a combination of both using [[locust armor]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}, or simply using walls and terrain to block projectiles are all good ways to move in. Centipedes with the heavy charge blaster must be simultaneously engaged in melee to make sure none of them can use their weapons. Micromanagement should make sure that weaker fighters are targeted first, so that better ones can fight for longer before passing out from bruise pain. | |

Centipedes are good at crowd control, but struggle against single or widely scattered targets. One effective way of distracting fire from them (if they are not equipped with the inferno cannon or supported by lancers) is to simply let a colonist with a [[shield belt]] stand in front of other colonists; the centipedes will focus fire on the shielded colonist, allowing your other colonists to fire at the centipedes while taking less damage. | Centipedes are good at crowd control, but struggle against single or widely scattered targets.

− | + | ===Other Tactics=== | |
If you can spare the resources, [[uranium slug turret]]s can be effective against Centipedes, as they outrange them greatly and their shots are powerful enough to pierce their thick armor. Their tendency to stay at range keeps them roughly within the slug turret's effective range. | If you can spare the resources, [[uranium slug turret]]s can be effective against Centipedes, as they outrange them greatly and their shots are powerful enough to pierce their thick armor.

Centipedes are prime targets for [[psychic insanity lance]]s. A berserk Centipede will draw the attention of other mechanoids, and will continue to attack its compatriots until it or the others are dead. As the [[inferno cannon]] does no damage to other mechanoids, use it against those equipped with the [[heavy charge blaster]]. As Centipedes are very well armored, it will generally result several in dead mechanoids, depending on the composition of the mechanoid force. | Centipedes are prime targets for [[psychic insanity lance]]s.
