RedBully17

Searched for info where to find and theres none, i asked everywhere and no one knows

From the devs, if you read this, a clue please or if anyone who knows, tell me please

Edaphon

They drop from Gladiator rucksacks.

Confirming Edaphon -- I got a fire lancer lead yesterday with a Gladiator rucksack on turning in my daily.

I would guess the led is in cyrodil. Each mythic item lead is found in related news.

Go to cyrodil. Kill monsters, do some delves. Open some chests.

This is not mythic lead, just a purple lead. I did open chest in cyro, did kill bosses in cyro delves too and nothing. Don't know if i should look on Cyro, Imperial City sewers or city, or the zones where can be scryed(reaper's march, bangkorai and stonefalls). I even did go to dwemer ruins, since it looks like a dwemer canon, and nothing.

I did check and like i said, i know the zones where the leads can be scryed ( Reaper's march, bangkorai and stonefalls), but i need to farm on that zones too or need to get from another place? some leads, like some of the mystic leads, you get from cyro delves bosses for example, i would like to know if the magicka lancer leads is the same thing since theres 3 versions of magicka lancers( Fire, cold and shock) or i need to check on that zones. There's no information where the leads from the magikca lancers can drop

on the spreedsheet, don't show the location where to get for the magicka lancers :'c

Unfortunately yes. So you have to be really protective of them. I only use them off walls to def, so that I can put it away safely. Also, get siege repair kits. Deply it in base and fix back to max HP.

The damage is very meh. It's basically one bolt divided by 5 and scattered but hey. It's a dwemer machine gun ❤️

I dug up an Ice one the other night. I kept hearing the damage was ***, but I gave it a shot at an Alessia defense from the wall. I straight up wrecked an entire zerg of ~35 EP. I was hitting for 4-5.5k when they were clustered together at the top of the hill.

My biggest thing with this is that the pivot for the camera is in the wrong spot, so I can't even see over the wall to aim. Also, they don't automatically mount the siege like every other piece in the game and I've already had someone jump on mine before I even got the chance.

Damage on these things is pretty great, but range is trash. Short/medium range they are killer.

Got one from conquest handin yesterday. It's a purple lead so only need scrying 5.
Had to port out to stonefalls to go dig it up though. Appears as a container named after your alliance. Lance is inside. Yet to burn some DC/ EP with it though 😄

AFAIK lead drops only from gladiator rucksacks and it's pretty rare, weapon can be destroyed as any other weapon. About its usefulness. On long distance it's good to tag players to get APs, nothing more, but in close range... Darn it can be terrifying I have already few cases of 5-10 players wipes with it (fire version). There are 3 scenarios where this weapon shines:
1. Rams at outer. You place the siege on one of the side lower platforms beside a gate (where usually mage guards are located) and aim it down at ram. If the group isn't tanky one burst can kill whole group. For tankier ones it's good to use some oils but it's really deadly.
2. Rams on inner. You place it on top of the inner facing it to the gate. It can shoot at a bit better angle than regular balistas so you can do some nice damage to people on ram
3. Wall breaches. It's a bit harder because of distance but we'll times burst can be really fatal

The only real "meh" with this siege is camera. It doesn't move vertically when you aim so shooting down in most of the cases forces you to aim blindly.

I got a lead from the Gladiator rucksack from the daily. I used the Ice one in Cyro on players trying to get through a keep front door - it def kills lol.

I'm seeing many here complain about siege camera. I will tell one good tip for that: on controls settings, you have a option to change the siege camera mode on siege section. Bind a key on that and when you that siege and press the button, your camera will see like from above and the siege will rotate when you move the camera too, it's like a free camera mode on siege
