Reinforced barrels cannot be crafted. Instead they can only be acquired through [[trade]] with tradeships and [[Outlander]] visitors, caravans, or [[faction base]]s. They can also be obtained reward for performing [[quests]]. Bulk goods traders specifically will always offer 1-4 reinforced barrels. | Reinforced barrels cannot be crafted.

A reinforced barrel is required to build and rearm [[mortar]]s. A mortar costs 1 barrel to construct, and can fire up to 20 rounds before needing to be rearmed with another reinforced barrel.

− | Mortars | + | Mortars are very useful in order to defend against stationary enemies, such as [[siege]]s, [[crashed ship parts]] or [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. Reinforced barrels are required to use mortars in the first place. But with a market value of {{icon small|silver||{{P|Market Value Base}}}}, before being impacted by [[Trade Price Improvement]], they aren't a cheap item. Mortars also require [[mortar shell]]s, themselves costly to fire. |

− | + | Mortars in general are definitely worth getting, especially as a defense against enemy sieges or [[automortar]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. How quickly will depend largely on playstyle, current mortar defense, and [[difficulty]]. For example, a [[sniper rifle]] can be a good tool to lure early siegers, allowing you to loot their mortars/barrels against future attackers. | |
− | + | An effective way to acquire bulk barrels early is to lead traders with them into insectoid hives, wait for them to be killed, then retrieve the barrels while the bugs sleep. If you haven't got some already, then sieges themselves can be a good source of barrels (or constructed mortars). | |
