The Catapult is a siege weapon constructed in the Siege Workshop for 120 WoodMini.png + 20 Coin 16px.png.

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.

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 RockItemMini.png.

To load a catapult with a bomb, light the bomb with [F] and put it on the catapult by pressing [E]. The catapult must not be in fire mode for this to work. The bomb will explode only after it has been fired, so there is no danger of it exploding while mounted.

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.
  • Hold [E] in front of a catapult to bring up its menu, then select 'Mount Yourself' on the left to get on the catapult and have another team member launch you. For maximum distance, do not perform any actions after launch.
