The Guide Kit and its cousin the Guide Beacon Gun are support devices which have no offensive function on their own. They work in concert with weapons that lock on to targets, and are very powerful and useful devices if employed correctly. It should be noted that a Guide device does not increase the duration of the projectiles a weapon fires; while the above Guide Kit would allow a Wing Diver to lock on her Ghost Chaser weapon at 3,000 metres, since Ghost Chaser projectiles only last for two seconds it would still be useless against any target more than 200 metres away.

abstract	The Guide Kit and its cousin the Guide Beacon Gun are support devices which have no offensive function on their own. They work in concert with weapons that lock on to targets, and are very powerful and useful devices if employed correctly. Both devices create a red lock-on marker for homing weapons in the same way an enemy would, and this is locked on to in the same way, using the red bounding box for the weapon being used. Small boxes appear in the Air Raider's HUD next to the point of aim of a Guide device to show if the lock is being used, presumably so they do not accidentally stop lasing a target or reload a Guide Beacon Gun when their allies are trying to lock onto it; a red box indicates a weapon trying to acquire a lock, a green box a weapon that has one. The markers created by Guide devices have a higher targeting priority than normal targets. The markers also provide a multiplier bonus to the lock-on speed and lock range of the weapon in question. For example, say a Ranger is using an Air Tortoise ME. This launcher normally has a lock-on time of 5 seconds and a lock-on range of 600 metres. Using the target from a High-Speed Guide Kit (lock speed x5, range x5) this weapon would lock on in 1 second and would be able to "see" the target marker from 3,000 metres away (larger than the diagonal distance across any map in the game). It should be noted that a Guide device does not increase the duration of the projectiles a weapon fires; while the above Guide Kit would allow a Wing Diver to lock on her Ghost Chaser weapon at 3,000 metres, since Ghost Chaser projectiles only last for two seconds it would still be useless against any target more than 200 metres away. Another major advantage of these devices is that they allow normally multi-target weapons to lock onto the same target multiple times. Normally a Naegling Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher could only lock one of its ten-missile volley onto a single target, but if it places a Guide device lock cursor in its targeting box it will generate ten lock-ons on that cursor. This allows weapons that normally spread out their damage to perform powerful focused attacks. The Fencer has three powerful weapons that require a Guide device to lock on at all; the Haytal Multiple Missiles, Phoenix and his super-weapon, the Leviathan.
