Detached Security Turret is a heavy machine gun in Wasteland 3: Cult of the Holy Detonation.

Description

Ripped out of its machine network, this turret gazes wistfully at you, eager to fire a fuckton of searing hot laser beams directly into your face.

Characteristics

This weapon has no critical strike associated with it, so strike rate is irrelevant.

"Firing" this weapon immediately ends that Ranger's turn regardless how many AP they have left, and the weapon will actually fire at the start of next turn.

Despite preinstalled Energy damage, it is possible to convert this weapon to other damage types (Fire, Cold or Explosive) by using the appropriate damage type conversion mods. This won't add a second damage type but replace the originally installed Energy damage.

Shortened Barrel alongside with Toxic Linkage or Crippling Linkage or Razor Linkage mods can almost triple this weapon's damage, giving the weapon 43 - 49 x14 (602 - 686) damage per attack, at the cost of -10% Hit chance.

Damage can be farther increased from various bonuses. Also Energy damage provide +99 Armor penetration, which negates target's armor completely.
