Learn all the effective methods to get rid of pesky Tesla turrets. If you are here, you probably dislike Tesla turrets as much as I do. They slow you down, delete projectiles, and are always on guard. لحسن الحظ, I have compiled multiple different methods that I have found to be very effective when trying to take down one of these modules. The data was collected on the Hard difficulty level.
Non-projectile fire
- إمكانية الوصول: سهل
- Effectiveness: قليل
أولاً, you can try shooting the turret directly. This method benefits from the fact that Tesla turrets cannot shoot down light firearms. لكن, light firearms are weak, and focusing on a turret while being swarmed by other enemies can quickly deplete your shield. It’s recommended to back up and shoot from outside the turret’s range, but be cautious of ambushers.
PROS:
- Very cheap ammunition
- Can be done outside the turret’s effective range
CONS:
- Slow progress
- Vulnerability to attacks
Battle drones
إمكانية الوصول: واسطة
Effectiveness: Low to High
Drones are modules that can be constructed by the player to provide additional firepower and support. With this method, you can call in a drone equipped with a non-projectile weapon (such as the Rattlesnake) directly in front of the turret. The drone will then shoot at the turret while you engage other enemies. لكن, the drone’s AI may sometimes choose a different target, and if there are many enemies, the drone can be quickly destroyed, making this strategy unreliable but powerful.
PROS:
- High damage from weapons like Rattlesnake or Gatling Gun
- Automated once the drone is called
CONS:
- Drillship needs to be surfaced for the drone to work
- AI may choose a different target
- Drone may be destroyed if there are many enemies
المشاجرة + يدعم
- إمكانية الوصول: واسطة
- Effectiveness: عالٍ
This strategy is very reliable and can help you take down turrets without complications. Call in a support drone next to the turret and make your way to the turret using the drillship or terrain for cover. Use a melee weapon to grind down the turret while relying on the support drone for healing. This method works best when there are many enemies that prevent you from using other weapons. لكن, if the support drone is destroyed, you will be vulnerable unless the turret is nearly destroyed. To mitigate this, you can create more support and turret drones to assist you.
PROS:
- No luck involved
- Access to the ship once the turret is destroyed (except for lasers)
CONS:
- Overwhelming number of enemies can pose a threat
- Requires additional resources and planning to address the first con
Hacking
إمكانية الوصول: Difficult
Effectiveness: Incredible
ال “Hacking Tool” is an item that allows you to open or close modules on enemy ships and lasers. It is unlocked through T3 production but can also be looted from T3 military tanks. Although it can be challenging to obtain early in the game, it is highly effective against Tesla turrets. Simply hold the left mouse button for about 15 ثواني, and the turret will be deactivated.
PROS:
- Reliable method
- Quick takedown
- Can be done from a distance
CONS:
- Requires reaching the late-game stage
- Easy to get overwhelmed if there are too many enemies
Anti-Materiel Ammo
- إمكانية الوصول: Very difficult
- Effectiveness: Incredible
The introduction of this ammunition, along with the Tesla turrets, provides a direct counter. لكن, acquiring anti-materiel ammo requires significant resources and time, making it a late-game option. Along with the hacking device, this ammo is one of the primary methods for taking down Tesla turrets.
PROS:
- Quick takedown
- Can be done from a long range
- Reliable method
CONS:
- Requires expensive ammunition
- Accessible only in the late-game stages
