IRON NEST Shells
A clean shell-reference page for IRON NEST players, focused on role-first shell selection and charge decision rules rather than copied ammo lists.
Shell pages are high-intent because players want a fast answer while the mission is running. This page intentionally starts with role logic instead of claiming a final full ammo list.
The exact ammo inventory can change during demo updates. The table below is a practical decision layer and should be refined after in-game verification.
Step-by-step guide
- Classify the order
Ask whether the mission wants precision, area effect, suppression, or another task. Shell role follows mission job.
- Check requisition cost
If a shell is expensive or limited, save it for orders where its effect matters. A cheap correction shot can be more valuable than a rushed expensive round.
- Match charge to shot geometry
Charge should support range and trajectory. If the shot is off because of map work, changing charge alone will not fix the problem.
- Keep shell advice inside demo evidence
Do not turn a provisional shell role into a final stat table until the exact demo inventory, costs, and mission effects are checked. Use role-first decisions for now.

Quick reference
Shell role framework
| Role | Use when | Operator note |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Target is specific and friendly positions matter. | Measure carefully and correct slowly. |
| Area effect | Target zone is broad or suppression is acceptable. | Do not use when exact placement is required. |
| Economy shot | You need a readable first correction. | Lower commitment can preserve requisition. |
| Special task | Order text clearly implies a special effect. | Verify the instruction before loading. |
Shell setup relation table
| Decision | Depends on | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Shell role | Order type and desired effect. | Whether the shell effect is confirmed in the current demo. |
| Range | Map mark and target uncertainty. | Whether the distance was measured from the right origin. |
| Powder/charge | Range, shell role, and trajectory need. | Whether the chosen charge matches the intended shot. |
| Elevation | Calculator output and gun setup. | Whether the entered elevation matches the calculated plan. |
FAQ
Is this a complete ammo list?
Not yet. It is a shell decision framework for the first site version. Exact shell names and stats should be added only after verification.
What is the safest first shell choice?
The safest choice is the one that answers the order while preserving enough information and requisition for corrections.
What shell details remain provisional?
Exact names, costs, effect radius, mission-specific exceptions, and charge interactions should be verified in the demo before becoming final wiki tables.
