The Catapult is a portable siege weapon constructed in the Siege Workshop.
To pick up and move the catapult, press [C] while in front of it. While carrying a catapult, you can't jump as high as before and you become much slower. To throw the catapult, press [C] while carrying it. Enemy catapults can be picked up and stolen. A catapult can be destroyed not only by melee weapons, bombs and catapult projectiles, but also arrows.
Contents
Usage
Holding [E] in front of the catapult will bring up its menu, which contains four options: 'Fire mode' on the top, 'Load Stones' to the right, 'Load Object' below, and 'Mount Yourself' to the left.
To load up a catapult with stones, bring up the menu and select 'load stones' to the right. To shoot use the menu to change into fire mode, face the direction you want to fire, then hold down the left mouse button. The longer you hold the further you will shoot.
Each catapult shot uses up 10 .
To load a catapult with a bomb, light the bomb with [F] and put it on the catapult by pressing [E]. The catapult should not be currently firing for this to work. The bomb will explode only after it has been fired, so there is no danger of it exploding while mounted.
