Object description

A more advanced ammunition type for gun weapons. Piercing rounds are more expensive than firearm magazines but have 60% higher damage, with 8 damage per shot instead of 5. Their higher damage enables them to scale better with damage upgrades, and gun turrets with piercing rounds and research upgrades remain somewhat effective against big biters. An array of many gun turrets with piercing rounds can also be used for killing demolishers on Vulcanus.
