Tips & Tricks[]
- The LAW is a single shot high explosive weapon that plays a few important roles in combat. First and foremostly, it deals a large amount of damage over a modestly wide radius, and is an effective tool for dealing with tanks and packed groups of enemies.
- The amount of damage dealt by LAW depends on its condition - the better condition, the more damage it deals. For example, it takes two hits from 100% condition LAW at tank's side armor to disable it, while using lower condition LAWS requires at least three or four weapons to knock down a tank this way. Therefore, it is strongly advised to make sure all the LAWS used in combat are brought to 100% condition.
- Can be used to blow holes in building walls and sandbag barriers that would otherwise be impenetrable or need the use of TNT to breach.
- The LAW is mainly one of the few weapons that can effectively damage tanks. Since you will be facing numerous tanks in and around Meduna, be sure to pack a good amount of them prior to assaulting the capital. Each merc can carry up to four LAWs in inventory plus fifth one as a prepared weapon.
- Once a LAW is fired, it is expended and turns to junk. It cannot be reloaded and is no longer of any practical use. Jake Cameron in Estoni will buy any used LAWs you have off of you.
- LAWs can be reloaded in Wildfire, though the detailed picture in Wildfire appears to be that of an AT-4 rather than a LAW.
