Usage Tips4 tips
Don't just use turrets for base defense; place them aggressively near objectives like the Missing Kid's cage to have them clear out enemies for you.
At Engineer Level 3, you can create a self-sustaining resource loop: turrets kill Cultists, which drop Scrap, which you can turn into Gears to build or maintain your turrets.
Always carry extra Rifle Ammo, as a turret without ammo is useless. Remember that it needs a clear line of sight to its target.
Remember that using a hammer is for salvaging materials, not for picking up and moving the turret.
Trivia3 facts
This turret is the core ability of the Engineer (also known as Santa) class, which is one of the most expensive classes in the game.
It is considered one of the most overpowered (OP) items for the early game, capable of completing some objectives without direct player intervention.
Many players mistakenly believe that the turret disappearing when they use a hammer on it is a bug, but it is the intended salvaging mechanic.
