Auto turret placement

[Colonel Kernel]

Please for the love of god stop putting them on the ARC, they are terrible on the ARC. And please stop putting them on walls instead of bunkers, they last much longer on bunkers than on walls.

[Frowny]

They can't shoot straight down on a bunker. Much better placed on walls

Some players thinks this is a "build a base of your dreams" game. but it isn't... it's a co'op squad game... wait even that is wrong... its actualy a player horde vs a bigger bug swarm horde. So anything goes apperently win or loose... 50/50.

It's goat as far as I am concerned. Maybe left 4 dead is. But this hits the nail on the head rather than scratch the itch.

thanks for the post so Turret's need to be placed on Bunkers?

[kampfer91]

I would advocate to put it on the wall because they can shoot what directly beneath it and i am running powered up tools so it take only a sec to repair a destroyed turret.

[Brutus]

Also the turrets are for the whole team not just for your section of the wall (the same with ammo crates).

[BOMBERMAN]

All of you are wrong.

Turrets need to be placed in the area that require the most help, so either a place where you know that the spawn will be strong, or a place where you know you will need cover for early extraction.

As of walls or bunkers, both of them are good choices only if you know how to build around it. Put turrets on large walls, and then, put smaller walls in front, this will allow you to protect said turrets far longer, allow you to have time to move on to repair if a breach occur but also allow the turrets to have clean sight to shot.

For the bunkers, a single turrets allow to help slow down a wave by shooting ranged enemy, aka, perfect for the extraction moment or big spawn where you a tiger or gun bug will spawn.

That's a definitive answer to this, both walls and bunker are correct solution, what matter is what is build next to it or what goal do you want them to achieve.

come again, why can't i surround my ARC with electric fences and put senties on each corner?

Because if you and your team were defending your perimeter effectively to begin with, you wouldn't need electric fences and sentries around your ARC.

I prefer to put all 4 ammo boxes inside the arc, surrounded by electric fences, with turrets unbuilt against concrete walls. Then, I just place a giant maze of barriers all over the build space. If players can't figure out what's going on, neither can bugs, easy win!

The Elec fence is effectively a shock beacon that have infinite timer , in the right place it will stop the entire attack and ours objective is to delay the bug .

It also costly , 4000 ore , so it need to contribute in order to justify the cost .

cant plan around the bugs never gettting in tho gotta have redundancies

As i remember turret cannot hit enemies beneath it around 4x4 small square. It keep firing but it can't hit the bug right beneath.
