Overview

Railgun turret is a building turret that fires a high-velocity projectile along a straight trajectory and damages entities in its path. The turret has distinct placement orientations that determine the direction its shot travels. Animation and gallery material show the turret firing a single, fast-moving projectile that traverses an otherwise unobstructed line and damages every entity located on that trajectory.

The turret’s attack affects all objects along the flight path of the projectile rather than only the first target struck. This behavior makes the railgun turret effective at engaging multiple aligned enemies or creating a defensive line where a single shot can penetrate and damage several units or structures. The visual effects and placement images indicate that orientation is important for aiming and for lining up targets that will be hit by the shot.

  • The turret can be placed in multiple orientations; placement images display all available facing directions.
  • Each shot travels along a straight line from the turret in the chosen facing direction.
  • The projectile damages every entity on its trajectory, not just the first entity encountered.
  • Visual and animated assets demonstrate the linear, penetrating nature of the weapon and the importance of turret alignment for optimal coverage.

Gallery images and animations emphasize the railgun turret’s unique mechanic of line-based damage and show how different placements change the direction of fire. Practical deployment therefore focuses on positioning and orientation to maximize the number of targets intersected by each shot.
