However that's to SPOT an enemy, once an enemy is identified by ANY ally they will all shoot it if able, no matter the range, only line of sight counts thenīut another point I should have added is:

I think it's PERCEPTION based? not sure though Yes, turrets have a 'limited length of sight' I like the incendiary turret because it night it lets you SEE enemies as it sets them on fireĪnd the Mark IV staggers enemies on a hit very eays, cheap, it works :)Īlso there's great mods that add turret stands, military emplacements, bubble turrets etc so you can have better placementĪ little forethought can have great imrovement in turret effciency :) I use the girders/posts and floors from the Warehouse/banr set to make sentry and/or turret towers. You can block a turret from hitting the wrong thing by placing a wooden board or whatever near the turret if you must, to shield things. With all turrets of course you don't want them to shoot your damagable items, such as pumps and generators (and it's why I do NOT use missile trurrets, their AOE damage is to risky, especially against friendly NPCs)Ĭrop damage is annoying but less severe than blowing a generator or another turretīut that is easily dealt with purely by correct placement of items in the first place When firing from above they are much more likely to hit due ot less obstructionsĪnd you certainly want the missile turret to be VERY high to ensure it hits on the ground even on a miss, so it does some damage Get meleed (and thus destroyed easier! but even a death claw can't melee a turret if it's put on top of the Abernathy roof for example) They have less field of view and will not be much use as they simply can't hit most enemies Unless there is a SPECIFIC reason for it, I cannot understand why I keep seeing so many screenshots with the turrets on the ground: why do this?
