TEK Rifle vs Turrets

[OldScho0l]

I would like to know if there is any defence against incoming element shard projectiles from a TEK rifle as it is now mainly used for raiding.
We got the auto turrets against the rockets and granades but nothing against the TEK rifles ?

How do we defend our bases against that espicially when offline?

Tek walls will do it although I would bet that isn't an option for you. It would take about 7 element to use a tek rifle to blow through one metal wall which seems like a waste of element to me. If 7 element isn't a waste tho the people raiding you then chances are they have the resources to raid you without element anyways. So like all defenses make your base not worth raiding with honeycombing/extra walls/multiple vaults/more than one base/etc.

TL;DR You're ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Wait Tek walls actually take MORE damage from the TEK rifle than metal walls. How silly.

The issue is more of how much does it take to destroy a turret with a tek rifle. All they have to do is make a hole in your static defenses and then use C4 for the heavy work. So even a small amount of element in a tek rifle can go a long way in destroying a base.

Hence the "You're ♥♥♥♥♥♥" comment. I've never had to deal with TEK raiding though so I could be wrong.

Well from your talks i can see you play on official or low rate custom servers but i play on high stats custom servers. On those servers its piss easy to wipe a base in no time and the only issue is the TEK rifle as it can destroy everything excpt for auto turrets.

Auto turrets can be destroyed by compound bow arrows but not from TEK rifle or rockets or granades. Its the same with the X plant it shoots rockets as well but it can get destroyed easy.

The main issue is how to shoot incoming TEK Shard projectiles down before they hit the base?

Ah. I was unaware that Tek rifles couldn't damage turrets. Odd, but good to know.

Tek rifles are very op and broken. They might not be able to destroy turrets but what do you think happens when they shoot the floor out that the turret was on?

Explain this please. I just tested it out in Single player and the auto turret took no damage from compound bow stone arrow, metal arrows, or flame arrows.

Auto turrets can only be damaged by ballista bolts.
