The railcart is a self-powered cart able to run along the rail track system of Hunrath. It helps to open paths blocked by Imager rocks and disable red beams. Initially it is on top of the railcart elevator inside C.W.'s workshop with a blue beam projecting from it towards the entrance of the compound.

Description[]

The motor of the cart behind the seat

The railcart consist of a frame of red metal tubes mounted on a heavier wagon structure with small rail wheels. At its front is mounted a Mofang disabler device of Villein technology, connected to a screen for aiming with a button for firing. At its back is mounted a motor-like device with various connections that presumably moves the railcart.

A car battery is used to power both front and back systems which is efficient enough to run them for the duration of the game. A sliding door with an Enter sign on its outer side and an Exit sign on it inner side permits access to a round seat mounted on a rotary base. A lever for moving the disabler, another for moving the cart and a switch for selecting between the two functions are easily accessibe from the seat, though actually they are controlled by the keyboard or gaming controller.

Operation[]

The controls of the disabler beam

Once the "Enter" sign of its sliding door is clicked, an animation positions the player on a seat that can be rotated to face in any direction needed. When being close to a railtrack switch, its lever can be switched without dismounting. A switch positioned on the right-side frame of the cart, either enables the forward-backward movement of the railcart or enables the use of disabler device, which can be rotated 90° to the right or the left and can also be moved to point upwards or dowards at a certain angle.

The railcart movement controls

The player can use the WS to move the railcart or the WASD keys to point the device. When the switch is set to enable the device, it blinks with a blue light and a stretch screen is activated showing the general area the device is pointing at. A blue beam is fired when the button under the screen is pressed. The beam aims at what can be seen at the center of the screen. A second click on the button stops the beam and enables the cart movement.

Railcart objectives[]

As soon as the railcart has been lowered on the railtracks of Hunrath, a number of objectives have to be completed. More about them can be found in Railcart objectives (spoiler warning) .
