Trebuchet in conan exiles can be a very useful tool for the players as it can be used for battles to defend your lands and it can also be used for fun purposes .
The Trebuchet is a war or siege weapon that was used during the middle ages.Trebuchets were first used by the ancient Greeks and Romans and were later engaged by the Persians, Byzantines and Chinese.
It has the setup of a catapult and it’s type of catapult launches heavy things like rocks and others items at a stronghold or a fortress, it also launches little objects like humans.
A trebuchet has four major components that makes it what it is : the frame, the arm, the counterweight and the projectile.
The frame’s duty is to make sure the Trebuchet is stabilized and able to take on whatever tasks requested of it, simply put the frame is what holds a Trebuchet together and what makes it called a Trebuchet.
The arm holds and contains what will be thrown as a means of attack from the trebuchet during launch.
The counterweight helps to give enough power to your catapult by increasing its weight on one side of it and balancing out its weight on both sides to allow for an effective launch.
The projectile will be launched from your catapult and can be anything you want it to be, rocks, humans, dead animals and so much more; you decide.
The first thing you need to do is take a look at the actual recipes needed to build a trebuchet .
You’ll then notice that we need the engineer’s recipe which is going to allow us to make siege foundations , trebuchet bases , trebuchet frames , the arms as well as the boulders .
After making these we’ll find out they’re going to be at the carpenter’s bench which is the foundation in the base , while the rest are gonna be out in the field and created at the actual trebuchet as its built .
How To Build A Trebuchet In Conan Exiles
To be able to create a trebuchet from scratch we will need to follow some steps and have some resources that can help us in making the trebuchet .
Here’s a step-by-step process on how to build a trebuchet on Conan Exiles :
1. Create The Foundation
To place your trebuchet in conan exiles , the first thing you need to do is to make the foundation , for that you need to have 30 shaped wood and 25 bricks .
2. Make The Base
After having the foundation built you now need to build the base and to do that you need 200 wood and 13 iron reinforcements .
After making sure you’ve done these preceding things successfully you can now move on to the next step
3. Find A Good Spot For The Trebuchet
Finding a good spot to put your trebuchet in it can be key , after finding a good spot go ahead and place the trebuchet .
4. Pull Out Your Siege Foundation
Pull your siege and place it down to fit perfectly with your foundation .
5. Place Your Trebuchet Foundation
To do that you’re gonna grab your trebuchet base and place it , then click on the base itself and you’re going to see the recipe for the frame which is 200 wood and 13 iron reinforcements and you’re going to
construct the trebuchet frame .
Then you’re going to construct the trebuchet arm which takes 100 wood and 30 iron reinforcements and 25 twine .
6. Craft The Trebuchet’s Arm
A Trebuchet’s Arm’s recipe is mentioned in the game and is very easy to create , more easy than crafting silk for example .
At this point you’re gonna want to go ahead and put your counter weights in place of counter weights , that is going to determine how far your trebuchet will shoot .
You can readjust your trebuchet by putting more or less counterweight in .
You can also adjust your aim once the trebuchet is completed , this way you’re going to be able to create your Boulder’s which cost 100 stone and 10 twine .
The only thing needed to be done on the battlefield before you resolve to using your Trebuchet to conquer the world is setting it up and building the ammo. You can build your ammo before coming to the battlefield but it can also be done on the battlefield. To craft your ammo you’ll need 25 stones and 10 ropes, but you’ll surely need more resources inorder to craft more ammo.
Now that you’ve successfully built your Trebuchet and set it up completely I think I should let you know how to use it successfully and create terror in the mind of your enemies.
How To Fire Trebuchet In Conan Exiles
To make a trebuchet fire in conan exile you need to take two explosive jars and 10 twine and load a couple of explosive jars in the trebuchet and there you have it , your trebuchet is ready to go .
To reload the trebuchet you have to go ahead and wind it back up and then normally you’d have to aim your trebuchet , but if you have more of the same ammunition type already in there it is going to be ready to fire .
To fire a trebuchet , you load it by placing the ammo you crafted on the Trebuchet via the inventory menu, you do this manually. That done, you then place a certain amount of rocks as you want in the counterweight section of the Trebuchet.
Note that you don’t just put any amount of rocks into it because the more the less determines how far the projectile will go airborne.
Now that you’ve loaded the gun, removed the safety lock, it’s time to aim.
You aim by grabbing the handles and the pivot towards the area you want to fire at. Then you release the lever to let that agent of destruction of yours do his job in the enemy’s camp.
Trebuchet Damage
For the damaged portion , you need to know that these trebuchet while they’re pretty cheap to make , they break very quickly and in the heat of battle that’s gonna be a problem , so make sure you have a repair hammer some wood and
some iron reinforcements handy so that you can keep the trebuchet running .
When you’re firing a trebuchet you’re getting about three hundred and forty damage out of a rock or Boulder .
Using the trebuchet you’ll notice that it has a system of splash damage so you’re damaging many parts at the same time , you’re also melting yourself .
We advise you to not go too close to it until it’s done melting .
