Turrets and Corrupted Creatures

[InfernoRodan]

So, like, is there a reason Corrupted creatures only take 10% damage from turrets?  Because that's silly, especially considering they take normal damage from hand-held guns.

This. 

Turrets are useless 

and in light of the lv 300 dinos roaming the city. You would think the turrets would save you from being wiped

I found that the reason is so people don't put 50 turrets at a orbital supply drop and do it with ease .

Does this apply to plant species x too or just turrets? I did not know they took reduced damage

[Utlagi]

Don’t know but since they count as turrets I would think so

You can only build after the drop lands and the dinos would eat them so fast it wouldn’t matter

That would be a nice workaround, if the intention really is to stop people using turrets at drop sites... Can't exactly throw down a plant species x in the minute before the dinos come. Our player dedicated has turret damage set to a ridiculous number on every other server, but people complained about others using turrets at the drop pods, so now we're stuck with official settings and little defense against kiters.

Velonasauros is the answer, from what I know they are good for drops and base defense against corrupted dinos

Those got hit with the nerf bat as well. Seems like wc doesn’t want anyone touching the red osd

They had turrets and generators disabled on platform saddle for a reason.

Yeah, funny thing about that... it apparently has no effect on the damage corrupted creatures take.  A little bit ago I set it to 10x on my game, just to see what would happen.  One shot from a Tek turret did over 2000 damage to a regular Dilo, while a Corrupted one still only took 15 damage per shot.
