The Assembly Line Important — Periodically, Siegecrafter Blackfuse will initiate fabrication of a set of weapons on the assembly line in his workshop. Disassembled weapons are brought in via conveyor belts along the northwest side of his room. They then pass through an assembly machine on the northeast wall of his room. Finally, they emerge completed on conveyor belts along the southeast wall of his room, where they attack players. Players can use Transport Pipes to reach the conveyor belt along the northwest side of his room, where they can attack and destroy the disassembled weapons. After players destroy a weapon, the remaining weapons become shielded and cannot be damaged.
Transport Pipes Damage Dealer Alert — Transport Pipes line the western edge of Siegecrafter Blackfuse's workshop. Players can jump into these pipes to reach the conveyor belt along the northwest side of the workshop.

Shockwave Missile Turret
Shockwave Missile — The Shockwave Missile turret launches a drill-tipped Shockwave Missile into the ground, sending a barrage of drills that ripple out from the impact location and create rings of seismic energy. Each ring of seismic energy inflicts 385,000 Nature damage to all players caught within it.
Laser Turret — When activated, Siegecrafter Blackfuse's Laser Turrets fire a beam of energy that tracks a player, leaving behind patches of superheated ground for 60 sec.
Superheated — The ground hit by a Laser Turret's beam burns any players or Automated Shredders who step on it, inflicting 75,000 Fire damage each second for 10 sec. This effect stacks every second that a player or Automated Shredded remains on superheated ground, and can stack up to 50 times.
Electromagnet
Magnetic Crush — When activated, the electromagnet will begin to magnetically crush all players on the platform, inflicting 75,000 Physical damage each second and pulling them towards the electromagnet. The force of the electromagnet will also pull all sawblades on the platform towards it and off the platform, causing them to damage any enemies or Automated Shredders in the path of the blades.
Crawler Mine — Assembled Crawler Mines leap down from the conveyor belt, fixating on a random player.
