Catapults are the "non plus ultra" in terms of crashing castles and bodies. They are entirely built up of wood and need rock items to be used. A catapult fires three small rocks at a time and is very deadly. To build this construction place the pieces in a 4 x 3 (horizontal x vertical) square. The catapult will get the turned the right way when built.

A catapult can be destroyed not only by melee weapons but also with arrows and catapult projectiles.

To load up a catapult with stones press [C]. To shoot use the pie menu to change into the fire mode, then hold down left mouse button - the longer you hold the further you shoot. Release to shoot.
To load a catapult with a bomb, light the bomb with [F] and put it on the catapult using E.

Tips

  • The catapult fires three small rocks at a time and can be very deadly. A well placed, fortified catapult can keep the enemies at bay even when outnumbered.
  • Fired rocks will destroy ladders instantly, making catapults an effective counter against sky bridges.
  • Press [F] to board a catapult, then have another team member launch you by holding [E]. For maximum distance, do not perform any actions after launch.
