Artillery

Ryzom provides an array of 'rocket launcher' and 'gattling' type weapons designed to thin out the first waves of attackers in mass combat situations. There is no 'friendly fire' in Ryzom (no damage is inflicted on friendly players), however players can suffer damage from their own weapons if their target is too close.

Artillery weapons are only of real use in mass combat situations. The ammunitions for artillery weapons are extremely cumbersome and occupy a very large part of player inventories, limiting the number that can be carried at once, and the damage that they inflict has a highly destructive impact on animal raw materials. Nothing of value can be quartered from a creature killed by a rocket launcher (see below for more details).
