Overview

Shell Set is an ammunition item used by turrets and can also be equipped on Icarus. Basic shells contain efficient Combustible Units, and when fired at a target position they detonate immediately, dealing Kinetic and Explosive damage in an area. A Shell Set contains 12 shells.

It is an early-game ammunition that can be produced relatively soon, although its unlock comes later than Magnum Ammo and missiles. Shell Set has high damage and a wide blast radius, making it especially effective against groups of Raiders. Its area damage gives it strong clearing power, but it is weak against enemies at very close range and against fast-moving targets, so it is normally used together with other turrets.

When equipped on Icarus, the shell line has the highest attack power among the available ammunition types. Even if you are not using it for turrets, it is worth producing a small amount for Icarus to carry.

A few practical notes:

  • Proliferating ammunition gives extra shots per box, based on the extra products bonus of the proliferation level.
  • Shell Set is best used where clustered enemies approach in waves rather than against single fast targets.
  • For more detailed performance comparisons, see Implosion Cannon and Icarus’s ammo slots.
