Pin



"Pin is a medium-range unguided rocket launcher. Rockets have a large AOE (area of effect). Deal damage to a group of enemies as well as their physical shields or enemies taking cover"

Introduction
The Pin is a light rocket weapon. It was released in the first version of the game.

Strategy
This rocket launcher causes splash damage, which enables it to penetrate physical shields, which will affect robots behind cover. It cannot, however, splash past Ancile shields. The rockets need to make contact with the enemy robot, or else they will continue to fly to their maximum distance.

It is quite hard to grasp a difference between the Pin and Pinata for a new player; however the difference is pretty simple.

A Pinata deals more damage, but at less (300 meters) maximum range, all rockets explode, and can deal damage to a target at 310 meters, due to a minor splash radius.

Pins deals less damage, however, rockets fly all the way to 500 meters, and, due to the nature of splash damage, could even damage a robot at around 520 meters.

Therefore, a Pinata does more damage, while a Pin has a longer distance.

This weapon is also considered to be the light version of the Tulumbas. They have the same range and damage type, giving them synergy. Together they form what is called a "Russian Death Button".

Mounting Options
Pins can be commonly seen paired with Tulumbases on Griffins and Rhinos, as these weapons have perfect synergy. These work particularly well on the Griffin, due to its ability to Jump, allowing it to get a better angle in which to fire, and possibly hit enemies under cover. These can also be seen on the Leo, with an Ancile or a Trident mounted on the heavy hardpoint. In earlier leagues it can be seen with four mounted on a Gl. Patton, or three on a Gepard.

Trivia

 * The shape of the weapon similarly represents a clothing pin.
 * The word Pin also is from a real-life object that is used to fasten cloths or soft objects by piercing through the object.
 * After the Pin fires a rocket, it appears to clip off the stopper on the top and bottom and when it fires, the Two parts appear to open almost instantly.
 * At one moment in time, the pin’s single rocket damage was bugged at level nine, dealing 7930 damage per shot. This allowed people to use bots with light hard points to exploit the bug since it had even greater firepower than the trident at the time. It was quickly patched and anyone that had level 9 pins received a free upgrade to level 10.
