The ADVENT Turret is an ADVENT enemy encountered in XCOM 2.
Description
The ADVENT Turret is a robotic turret found mounted to ADVENT vehicles and facilities. It is primarily black and red colored, with red lines along its gun barrel. The entire assembly is mounted on a circular, rotating mount. It is a stationary defense turret used to defend an area and to support ADVENT units. However, the unit is highly vulnerable to hacking by upgraded Gremlin drones; this allows XCOM to either temporarily shut it down or take control of the turrets and turn them on their ADVENT allies. Additionally; when successfully hacked during concealment the action does not reveal the XCOM operatives and even if the operatives are later detected the turret isn't, potentially allowing the device to be ordered to spring a trap from an unexpected area. The weapon has a good degree of armor; reducing the impact of XCOM attacks and this armor along with the turrets health only grows stronger as ADVENT deploy more advanced versions of the turret. Said armor is vulnerable to shredding however.
The ADVENT Turret, like other ADVENT units, fires glowing red Gauss rounds from its barrel. It does comparable damage to an ADVENT magnetic rifle and due to its frequently elevated positions it may gain a bonus to its accuracy against a target. This would seem to counteract the Overwatch -10 penalty to aim, so the ADVENT Turret will most likely be a deadly unit-interceptor on Overwatch. A particularly annoying ability of the turret is its own sight radius; if XCOM is infiltrating a Blacksite or other facility, they may be spotted by rooftop turrets, a deadly proposition owing to the relative lack of cover. However, turrets located on elevated positions are vulnerable to having the floors beneath them being destroyed with high impact weapons (such as the EXO Armor Rocket Launcher) which in turn will instantly kill the turret when it falls through the floor.
Abilities
- Robotic: Every robotic unit is immune to fire, poison, flash and stuns. However, they are vulnerable to hacking. The Specialist's Gremlin drone may hack the machine and deactivate or take control of it, allowing it to use it and its abilities.
- Double Tap: Allow both action to be used to fire the main weapon. Since the turret cannot move, it shots twice per turn.
