Maelstrom rounds are a payload developed for the terran siege tank around the early stages of the Second Great War. They have an armor-piercing tip that inflicts devastating damage on the primary target, but its splash damage is identical to the standard round.[1] Raynor's Raiders gained access to these rounds after their operation on Xil.[2]

Game Effect[]

Wings of Liberty[]

Siege tanks do +40 damage to their primary target. Splash damage remains the same.

Maelstrom Rounds have an armor-piercing tip that inflicts devastating damage on the primary target. Splash damage is identical to the standard round.

If siege tanks struck fear into the hearts of our enemies before, they will inspire abject terror when firing the Maelstrom Round.[1]
