“…Classic design autocannon. Effective against enemies with physical shields at medium and long range…” – in-game description
Introduction
The Molot is a mid to long-range (up to 800 meters, with a 400-meter optimal range) light kinetic weapon.
Strategy
This auto-cannon can accelerate its fire rate up to 1.5x the usual speed, if fired continuously for longer than 3 seconds. The accelerated state is disabled if firing is stopped for more than 1 second or ammo is depleted.
This weapon has a medium version, the Molot T, with the same rate of fire, but with higher damage per bullet. This weapon also has a heavy version, the Tempest, with even higher damage.
As a light weapon, it is usually mounted in groups of 2, 3, 4, and/or paired with Tempest and Molot Ts. Concentrated fire from Molots can prove efficient and deadly in mid-range combat.
The Molot is a versatile weapon. It can put pressure on robots at mid to long range (800 meters) and can be used in close combat, if needed. However, other common close range weapons, such as the Punisher, Magnum and Pinata, surpass the Molots damage at ranges below 300 meters.
