The MG Turret is a rapid-fire machine gun on a one-tile pad that fires at ground, sea and air targets. It shreds light vehicles and helps against aircraft, but barely scratches heavy armor.
How to use
Place one beside extractors within your headquarters build radius and along the base edge to stop buggy raids and drones without tying up an army. Its all-round targeting means it handles a bit of everything, which is exactly why it excels at nothing; pair it with a Cannon Turret against armor. Upgrade to the Gatling Turret when the raids get bigger. Like every turret it slows down when power is short.
