== Codex ==
A brute force trap, the Death Piston simply hits its target with enough impact to cause death. The trap's magnetic repulsion piston engine uses the repulsion between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet to force heated columns of steel to extend and retract.
The trap has grisly origins, initially conceived by two Sanctuary personnel who witnessed raiders massacre their co-workers. Upon capturing the raiders, the pair dropped the group into a cramped room with Death Pistons on each side. They admitted to betting on the event, picking which raider would survive longest as the scrambled atop each other attempting to avoid death.
== Trivia: ==
* Death Pistons are capable of launching Blast Grenades & Demolition Cannon charges when deploying.
