vi. SHELLS

Learn how to equip, buy, and use various shells for your tanks in Risk of Rain Returns. Discover shell types, costs, and where to find them to enhance your combat effectiveness.

Different tanks have a different capacity for carrying additional shells. These are selected from the battle menu screen and fired one at a time. You can increase the number of shells a tank can carry by asking a chassis mod mechanic to increase the Magazine size. Each increase adds another 5 spaces for shells and 0.01 tons to the tank's weight. The cost varies according to the power of the tank, but it is not a lot, ranging from 38 gold for the Mosquito to 209 gold for the WhitMuu.

You can see how many shells each tank has by looking at the BSCon tanks menu and selecting Sp.Shells from the tanks menu screen. You can also see exactly which shells a currently used tank has by selecting TANKS, the name of the tank, and then STATUS from the small menu, and selecting CHASSIS INFO, and finally pressing the action button to go to the Sp.Shells screen.

You can buy Shells from the Ammo Dealer in most garages or from Vending Machines, and they cost the same in all locations. They are not included in any sales.

There is no detailed description of the effects of these shells on the BSCon, but you can soon see what happens when you use them. The most useful ones are the Piercing Shells and Hollow Charge. Always keep a supply of shells as you never know when they might be useful. Making a boss enemy fall asleep is always satisfying.

Note: Some shells may have slightly different names in other lists:

• Armor Piercing Shell (Piercing Shell)
• Dud (Unexploded Shell)
• Hypnotic Gas Shell (Hypno-Gas Shell)
• Paralysis Gas Shell (Par-Gas Shell)
• High Explosive Shell (Exploding Shell)
