Tank guns

Guns are the most common type of object in Steamlands. Guns appear in almost all levels of Steamlands, except the first level. Guns are used by all tanks in Steamlands, and are needed to complete the levels of Steamlands. All Guns need steam power to operate, which means the guns have to be in range of the player's steam grid. When steam has reached a Gun, it takes some time for the gun to be powered up, longer for more stronger guns.

Guns can be assigned to number keys 1 through 9 by selecting the guns and pressing the number key. This makes it easier for the player to select many guns at once, and have them shoot at the same block. The speed Guns fire, there health, and the damage they inflict can all be increased by purchasable shop items. All guns have a red circular light on them.

Determinators
Determinators are the first gun introduced in Steamlands. Determinators are small guns which power up fast, are small, and have differences from other guns, Determinators are also the smallest of all guns in Steamlands. They appear as a rounded sided block with a small cannon on the front of the block. The circular light takes up most of the actual gun.

Determinators could be considered not very good as they can only fire in one direction; the direction there cannon is facing, and they fire slower the more damage they take. Most enemies in the start of the game will frequently use Determinators, but throughout the game the Determinators are rarely used, usually only used by Tanks easily destroyed by the player. Determinators fire quite fast, and is used by the player in most of the starting levels.

Flex
Flex is the second gun introduced in Steamlands. The Gun has a slight hemispherical base, with a small line for a cannon attached to the top of the base.

The Flex Gun is a bit bigger than the Determinators, and can rotate its cannon to concentrate fire on other parts of Tanks not level with it. Flex guns appear many times throughout Steamlands. The Flex Gun starts out with 150 health points, and can be increased to 165.

Hail Stone
Hail Stone is one of the many guns in Steamlands. Hail Stone as it name implies fires heavy metal balls which when hit an enemy tank seem as if it's raining stones. The Hail Stone gun has a rectangular base which takes up two blocks, and a medium sized cannon that has the appearance of a cannon on top of a half-circle.

The metal balls fired by the hail stone deal more damage than the bullets of usual guns. The Hail Stone is also the first gun to use weapons other than bullets.

Hail Stones appear throughout Steamlands, used by enemies and the player and can be found often on the ground. The Big Ben gun has a similar appearance to the Hail Stone gun, and the Matryoshyka gun attacks similar to the Hail Stone. If the player is moving fast and a Hail Stone cannon on the player's tank is shot, it will most likely land on the player's tank.
