Concrete-Piercing Shell
Fortifications / bunkers
The IRON NEST concrete-piercing shell is built to defeat hardened fortifications — delayed-action penetration for bunkers and reinforced positions that shrug off ordinary rounds.
For walls that were built to take a beating.
Some targets are too thick for even an armor-piercing shell to crack efficiently. The concrete-piercing shell is the specialist answer: a heavily reinforced round that bores into a fortification before it detonates, putting its energy inside the bunker rather than against its face.
This round is described as expected, in keeping with the era’s fortress artillery and the game’s stated breadth of ammunition. We’ll confirm specifics as the developers detail the full table.
When to load it
Save concrete-piercing for hardened fortifications and bunkers that resist standard anti-armor fire. Against vehicles or soft targets it’s overkill — and likely a wasted unlock-tier round — so let the intel justify it.
How to use it
- Commit to a clean solution. A delayed-action penetrator only pays off if it actually strikes the structure squarely; precision matters even more than usual.
- Account for the weight. Like other heavy rounds, it needs the propellant charge to match the range — re-check your calculator when you load it.
- Use it deliberately. This is a finisher for a specific kind of target, not a general-purpose shell.
In the wider loadout
Concrete-piercing sits at the heavy end of the anti-armor family, extending your reach from “tanks” all the way to “fortresses.” It’s a satisfying unlock precisely because it solves a problem nothing else in the rack can. For the full table, see the ammunition guide.
