Airmen: Unlockables, the secrets of the Archipelago

Here is a list of all the possible weapons found across the Archipelago and where to find them:

GUIDED ROCKET PODS

Guided rockets pods are a short range AOE weapon that works well as a saturation weapon. Although at reeduced damage to the unguided version.

They can be unlocked by researching barrage weapons and finding two damaged pieces in the lagoons of BURROW island

Here is a map of where to find them on the island:

LANCE CANNONS

The lance cannons are a long range penetrating weapon that works well against heavily armored targets.

They can be unlocked by reaching the Artifact (marked on the map) and charging it up by defeating enemy vessels, usually at installations.

BONE CANNONS

Bone cannons are long range precision weapon that work well against un-armoured ship components.

They can be unlocked by harvesting a demon carcass on any of the smaller islands, more often Spearhead.
This same accomplishment will unlock several other bone components, given you have the corresponding research.

Here a detailed map of where carcasses has been spotted:

ANTIQUE CANNONS

Antique cannons are a unique semi-adjustable cannons with a medium range and explosive damage.

They are mostly decorative for old sailing builds.

They can be unlocked by completing the Francis Drake challenge, which has you cross the archipelago in a sailing vessel of no less that 15 tons, equipped only of non-lifting components and wind powered propulsion.

It is recommended to have a few things for success:
A reverse placed sail or harpoons to get unstuck.
Good point defence to dispatch of rogue drones and occasional unmanned vessels.
A design capable of self-righting in case that a water spout picks you up from the water.
Make sure that the island name is displayed on your screen with every visit.
