Rocket Turrets Hurt !

Post by Ilnor »

I found a base with 11 rocket turrets !!
Anyone have any ideas / Tips on how to deal with these ?
I can't even fight the ones with 4 turrets without almost dying
I'm thinking i just made like 100 turrets and drop em ?

Looking for help on this topic

Yea that's kinda lame though
Kinda glitch the turret into infinite health through placing and pickup

I'll just avoid them until i find a decent way

The laser turrets idea isn't bad Just seems like more effort than i'm willing to expend on a map i can just move more north and find normal bases

Well, you don't actually need to kill them now :)
You can just wait until more combat options is introduced to the game ...

Then you bypass the rocket turrets for the bases with regular gun/battle turrets :)
Or (since they are exactly the same right now) mod the game so that your rocket launcher has just a slightly larger range than the rocket turrets:)
