Objectives

Test out the Shooting Mechano-Tank weapon systems on the nearby targets.

• Weapon System Tested x3

Description

Safety systems, online! Motor functions, functioning! Now all we need is to make sure that the guns will fire.

This shouldn't be too hard, <name>. The mechano-tank on the hill behind us has been loaded with harmless pellets. Just fire off a couple rounds at the nearby targets and report back to me.

Progress

What's wrong? Did you forget how to shoot?

Completion

Hmm... so the bullets had quite a bit of spread?

To some people that may be a problem... me, though. I see it as a blessing in disguise!

Our enemies will be running all over the place, so with a bit of spread, the tank drivers won't need to lead the target!

Notes

The Shooting Mechano-Tank is on the hill behind Captain Tread Sparknozzle. Hop in, aim at the attack target, hit 4 three times, then hop out.
