A Gauss gun (named after German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss), also known as coilgun, is a type of weapon that utilizes at least one electromagnetic coil(s) arranged in a common axis to act as a linear motor which accelerates the ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. Compared to railguns, which also uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate their projectile, coilguns are simpler but less efficient, although General Nikita Aleksandr have developed a more efficient model for experimental use in his Golem Tanks.

Researched at the Industrial Plant once Advanced Weapons Technology is obtained, the upgrade replaces the conventional cannon used by Golem Tanks with coilguns that have increased damage and range potential, making these behemoths even more deadly in combat.

Trivia[]

  • Possibly due to a typo, the upgrade is called Gaus Cannons in-game.
