[suggestion] Laser gun

Post by YasP »

The critters have these rocker defense towers I can't get near. A laser gun with a large range would be nice to take those out. It is the logical next step. Powered by batteries that have to be produced of course. Maybe rechargeable batteries with a charging station?

You can use a rocket launcher to destroy the guard turrets.

In the free play they have these rocket guard towers. Certain death to get near and the range of their rockets is bigger than your rockets.

Only solution so far: take the car and crash it into the turrets and run like hell.

Then can run out of ammo ( https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... ?f=5&t=384 )

Yeah, using rockets or driving a car into the them is a good way to take out turrets.

I think laser weapons would be fun to use but should have about the same range as machine guns (or Laser turrets).

If you're still wanting this it became available as mod with .16: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/laser_rifle it is only updated until .18, however it has unrestricted license.
