Unobtainable items

There are some items in RimWorld that are impossible to obtain by standard means, but can be spawned in using developmental mode.

Mechanoid Weapons

Mechanoids come equipped with their own class of weapons. Centipedes may be armed with a minigun, which it will drop when downed or killed. However, no other mechanoid weapon is obtainable.

This page is for the centipede weapon weapon, for the identically named turret weapon, see: Inferno cannon (Turret)

The inferno cannon is an mechanoid-only ranged weapon. It is the main armament of the centipede burner.

This weapon cannot be independently obtained in normal play. It is provided here for comparisons sake.

Acquisition

Inferno cannons spawn on all centipede burners, including those gestated by a colony. However, it is not possible to obtain it directly in normal play. Pawns carrying it will not drop it on death, downing, or complete loss of manipulation like other weapons. It can be spawned in by the Debug actions menu but, like all unobtainable weapons, will disappear after being dropped.

Summary

The inferno cannon is a medium-range siege weapon armed to centipedes only, and it won't drop upon its death. It fires a projectile that sets anything within a 2.4-tile radius on fire, accuracy for touch range is 79, short is 42, medium is 18, and long is 6. While its shots deal trivial damage, the primary threat is that it starts fires that can consume large areas and cause extensive damage if left uncontrolled. Characters caught by its fire will run out of their cover in an attempt to put themselves out and will not fight back when damaged, making them sitting ducks. Burns do not cause bleeding but instead cause extensive pain, which leads to shock and incapacitation, or uncommonly scar the pawn badly. Downed colonists are also liable to death by fire unless rescued or put out. Shots can burn flammables through walls, so use extreme caution when opening ancient shrines as you may not want to trigger the spacers while the threat still lingers around.

The heavy charge blaster is an mechanoid-only ranged weapon. It is the main armament of the centipede blaster.

This weapon cannot be independently obtained in normal play. It is provided here for comparisons sake.

Acquisition

Heavy charge blasters spawn on all centipede blasters, including those gestated by a colony. However, it is not possible to obtain it directly in normal play. Pawns carrying it will not drop it on death, downing, or complete loss of manipulation like other weapons. It can be spawned in by the Debug actions menu but, like all unobtainable weapons, will disappear after being dropped.

Analysis

Like the Minigun, it is an excellent crowd control weapon, dealing heavy damage against groups of targets, but its low accuracy makes it less effective against scattered or individual targets. With 90% of the range of a minigun, the Heavy charge blaster does 50% more damage per hit with 50% better Armor penetration. A fearsome weapon!
