− | + | The autocannon turret is a defense structure that fires a burst of high-damage shells. It has a maximum range of 32.9 tiles, but a per-tile accuracy of only 96% and cannot hit enemies within an 8.9 tile radius. Despite its damage though, the autocannon's stopping power is almost non-existent, not even being able to stagger [[human]]s - the same is also true for the [[uranium slug turret]]. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Since autocannons are large 2x2 structures, ranged attacks are twice as accurate against them. However, autocannons also benefit from being put behind [[sandbag]]s which mitigates this accuracy bonus. | |

+ | *60 steel in Peaceful and Base Builder difficulty | ||
+ | *90 steel in Medium difficulty | ||
+ | *120 steel in Rough difficulty and above | ||
− | + | Autocannon turrets have a chance to explode when they drop below 20% health, dealing damage to everything in a large radius. | |

− | + | == Usage == | |
− | + | Its use is not very cost-effective as its low accuracy makes it somewhat unlikely to land shots at range, and it costs quite some steel for each shot. | |
− | |||
− | + | It can be useful in [[killbox]]es where it is more likely to hit, by bringing enemies closer together and putting them in range. | |
− | |||
− | [[ | + | Due to their high damage output, autocannons can be effective at mowing down [[lancer]]s when grouped, provided you can lure them within its effective range; their [[charge lance]]s are otherwise able to outrange them by 4 tiles. Autocannons are also somewhat effective at dishing out damage against large targets such as [[centipede]]s since the accuracy bonus from their body size significantly offsets the autocannon's low accuracy, though centipede weapons can make relatively short work of autocannon turrets too. |
