− | + | }}{{info|The '''charge lance''' is a heavy, single-shot ranged weapon which deals a high amount of damage per shot; slightly longer time between shots; long range and high overall accuracy.}} | |
− | }} | + | ==Acquisition== |
− | {{ | + | Charge lances can be produced at a [[fabrication bench]] with a minimum crafting skill of 9 once the [[research#Pulse charged munitions|pulse-charged munitions]] research has been completed; from 60 [[plasteel]], 3 [[advanced component]]s and {{ticks|60000}} of work. Charge lances can also be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, as well as outlander settlements. |
− | + | [[Lancer]]s are the only enemy in the core game to use charge lances, but they aren't dropped when the lancer dies. Therefore, there is no way to acquire charge lances from [[raider]]s in the core game. With the [[Royalty DLC]] enabled, however, Janissaries, Cataphracts, and Stellic Defenders from the [[Empire]] have a possibility to spawn with a charge lance equipped. | |
− | |||
− | + | ==Analysis== | |
+ | The charge lance deals the highest amount of damage per shot out of all non-explosive ranged weapons in the game, and therefore has gained quite the reputation for dismembering and outright killing people alongside the [[pila]] and [[sniper rifle]]. This is combined with the highest projectile velocity ingame, as well as decent range and accuracy. Stopping power is also good: high enough to stagger [[human]]s, as well as slightly larger creatures such as [[cougar]]s and all [[insectoids|insectoid]] variations. | ||
− | + | As a result of its high damage, armor penetration is also good. This therefore makes the charge lance quite a solid weapon against more heavily-armored opponents such as [[mechanoid]]s or lategame raiders. | |
− | |||
− | + | Rate of fire is quite slow; slower than the bolt-action rifle and significantly slower than the charge rifle, but significantly faster than the sniper rifle. Damage output is rather poor at shorter ranges and middle-of-the-road at medium range. Also, similarly to the charge rifle, the charge lance is very difficult to acquire until lategame since it's expensive to produce and either unobtainable from raiders entirely {{RimworldIcon}} or only obtainable from difficult [[Empire]] raiders {{RoyaltyIcon}} | |
− | + | In terms of usage in combat, the charge lance is best suited as a medium-to-long-range support weapon (especially against heavily-armored targets), or in field combat. The charge lance can also be used as a powerful hunting weapon. | |
− | + | Against an unarmored human, a charge lance can kill with 2 hits to the torso, 1-2 hits to the head, or 1 hit to the neck or brain; cripple or destroy limbs with a single hit; and destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 3 hits (~16.6 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. | |
− | + | Overall, the charge lance is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 17, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | |

− | + | In Beta 19 it received a slight damage buff (27 --> 30), a slight reduction in time to aim and increase in attack cooldown, leaving fire rate more or less the same. It also received a crafting recipe allowing humans to use them. | |
+ | |||
+ | In 1.1 its range and long range accuracy was nerfed (37 --> 30; 80% --> 75%). | ||
