huge tower with Xenium on it, what to do ?

[Ender]

at the start of my curent run, there is a huge tower covered with xenium. operator say dea damage before it burst, will be gold rush or nothing.

i use my free amo and a fast hiting XEN that make lot of damage, but it say only 408 demage max, i think its number of hit and not total damage....

i have alt F4 many times, and everytime, it seems a big fail, lik i get 30 to 70 ingots....

is there a tips on how to do it right ?

see the big tower you go up it to turn on the arm thingy that has a bomb on it i then it's to the top of the claw to drop it since it the one that looks like a futuristik construction crane not the old looking one or here should be a tank that you can use to shoot it somewhere

[Ender]

i was like what did he talk about... i launched the game, now i see what you are talking about :) The big red bomb, can't miss ahah

go to work now, will try that when back ! Thank you :)))

nuke it

[Deathspider12]

easy way to blow it up, use the tank near the base to shoot at the tower.

[The SSIKness]

you can use artillery as well

It's 100% not worth the trouble.

The collision on the mechanic arm is garbage, and any other destruction methods nets you very low returns. Low enough that it's a waste of time to collect it.

I activate the tower, it start to spin, try to climb, fall 3 times because texture was buggy and I pass through

Noticed 4 small explosive barrels just near the starting point, put them near the tower and blow them, got like 200 xenium or to grab ^^

found out that you can shoot it with a gun with light xen and ram boosters and it will also destroy it lol

It can be destroyed with one bullet.

The trick is that the more damage you do in a single attack, the more resources you actually get.

The problem is that ultimately the resources gained are not worth the time invested.

i thought you needed to deliver damage fast, and i only had single shot.

Restarted the map more times than i wanted too, untill i saw the big bomb up top :(

i recorded it and saw
it displayed 2 bullets damaging it:
533,628 fire damage
118,584 fire damage

Xenium???

I assume you've mistaken the signet ore for Xenium because I've never seen Xenium dropped by one of these crystals.

Signet ore is nowhere near as useful as far as I can see.

What's the best use for the stuff? Can anyone advise? It's not worth much money to sell. I think I saw it used to barter once or twice but not for anything great.

[The Haney]

It has negligible value currently.

[Denks]

You get gold, diamonds, and signet ore from this event. Which is worth a small sum, but nowhere near enough to make dealing with the ridiculous tower swing physics worth it. Signet ore can also be traded for more useful items with some of the traders.
If a tank spawns on the map, that's the best way to do this nice and quick. Otherwise use something that hits real hard from your base if you have it, or pack a whole lot of c4 high explosive when heading out for the tour.

Just use 105/406/EM cannon and oneshot the whole thing. It still isnt worth much and i just usually autoloot signet mines.
