Overview
An active-guidance homing missile launcher. Once launched, the target must be tracked by the launcher until impact. Can be distracted by flares.
This is the launcher you build once somebody in an attack heli starts treating your compound as a shooting range. It only cares about flying targets: aim at a helicopter, wait for the lock to fill, fire, and keep the crosshair on it until the missile lands. Swap weapons, start a reload or let a rock slide between you and the target, and the shot is wasted.
It takes homing missiles and nothing else, one per shot, and they are not cheap. So pick your moment. A decent pilot or gunner answers the launch with flares, and the NPC patrol heli fires its own automatically the moment a missile is launched at it, so a careless shot at it is easily wasted.
Tip
Fire from cover the heli has to fly over, not from an open field. A pilot who spots you early just drops behind a hill and your lock is gone.
You learn it the normal way: research it, then craft it at a Level 2 workbench. The annoying part is the CCTV camera in the recipe, which has no blueprint of its own, so keep the ones you find in crates instead of feeding them to a recycler.
