Melcreif Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thoughts on the Minigun turret or Rocket turret So our base was attacked yesterday and we lost all 4 of our dragons. We also lost a Giga, Spino and a Quetzal. They attacked a side of our base that was least defended and just took out 2 behemoth gates and then went to work killing tames. Our plan is to upgrade the gates to Metal first, but we also have a very tall tower that looks out over the gates. What are your thoughts on the Minigun turret and Rocket turret for the next time this happens while we are online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog1986 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Minigun on a quetz is a deadly combo Rocket turret is a waste of resources though imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People still seem to have confusion regarding this. They patched it so that automated turrets can no longer be mounted on platform creatures. Manned turrets are still fair game.

I guess having the minigun on the Quetzal is amazing, but be careful you don't accidentally kill the Quetzal in the heat of battle. That happened to one of the guys in the tribe that had one setup like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemur Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I agree with many of the comments, however where I find a rocket turret amazing is when you go in to sponge bullets and you don't want to wait to sponge all the bullets and just use the animals to distract the turrets. Then you can rapid fire with a rocket turret and take out many of the turrets or generator. I like the fire rate of the turret. it is also helpful for minimal player raiding.

PuffyPony Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The rocket turret is a little underwhelming, especially now that you have to repair it, but the Minigun turret is incredible. Best tool for taking down enemy tames for a tribe with lots of resources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemur Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 As I said I agreed, but I just felt in certain situations the rocket turret still has viability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea you gotta have the right build, preferable is having the mini guns on pillars on the wing sides so they have good LoF and won't hurt your own quetz. Add in a ballista and you got a wyvern/quetz killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, this design is fairly common - However, that being said, I would modify it slightly in the sense that I would have pillars under both minigun's to ensure max LoF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you add pillars underneath are you still able to access the miniguns? I'm assuming you just look up and it allows you to mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog1986 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Correct, you may have to jump, but that is no huge deal, you'll have to be mounted in them before the quetz starts flying anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
