The turret is a neat addition imo, if you can't kill it you can just find a way around it in most cases, and it's not that hard to kill if you know how to do it, plus it gives ECMs a new use
[QUOTE=Dermock;47342743]this makes the swat turret not so insanely fucking dumb
however i cant believe it took this long for anyone to work it out lmao[/QUOTE]
And what about the actual armor? It takes ages for me to try and take the armor down. Is there any weakness for the armor?
[QUOTE=Notanything;47342777]And what about the actual armor? It takes ages for me to try and take the armor down. Is there any weakness for the armor?[/QUOTE]
i don't know i'm yet to hop in game because work and download times.
i'd imagine HE rounds do a ton to the armor but uh
yeah
Overkill should put this unit on the drawing board for another try, because in its current state, it's garbage and it really doesn't add anything good to the game. This time, they should balance it to be taken down by vanilla weaponry and not the strongest weapons in the game. It's pretty obvious they assumed people would be packing an RPG or Thanatos to take this thing down, because any other way is simply too spongy.
It lacks gratification, shooting at its armor plating for several minutes, wasting a ton of ammo. At least with a bulldozer, you feel like you're doing some damage, the turret doesn't have any of that. It's just a bullet eater with barely any weakness.
There should be far more weaknesses to it than just brute force. You know, like two weak hinges on the side of the turret that can be shot, and remove the armor immediately after they're both destroyed. Or heck, how about just killing the fucking driver/operator? We can pick locks, we can drill shit, and we could probably also just use shaped charges to obliterate the damn thing, why not have options like that?

Whats this all about?
Why has nobody mentioned the new intro?
[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;47343150]Why has nobody mentioned the new intro?[/QUOTE]
not much to say about it really, its just a heister starting a car, probably a teaser for the (presumable) video for hoxton revenge

Or the Car Shop Heist. Yaknow. The one involving cars.
[QUOTE=Jetamo;47343213]Or the Car Shop Heist. Yaknow. The one involving cars.[/QUOTE]
u reckon they would make a video to tease that even? seems kind of self explanatory, tho that is probably more likely, completely forgot about it honestly
How long until people realize you're supposed to avoid the turret instead of shooting it to death, I wonder
This game isn't about racking up hundreds of kills
It's hard to avoid it on Bank Heist cause two of them spawn at two sides
And they shoot thorugh the windows
I really hope they use feedback on this wisely

And that the best time to shoot it is when its overheated.

considering that everything in this game (even bulldozers i mean come on lets be honest here) have been relatively easy to put down its easy to see why peoples first instinct is "shoot it till its dead"
Well, Pain Train just got a lot more painful, and Tabula is going to be a nightmare.

1. it's been out for less than 5 hours so calm down
2. I guess I should just let this special unit completely own this portion of the map that I need to get to, HUH? yeah I should probably just avoid the turret that is directly in the way of the escape van on bank heist SHUCKSSS
3. you're wrong
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;47343318]Well, Pain Train just got a lot more painful, and Tabula is going to be a nightmare.[/QUOTE]
idk its really not that bad on hoxout, u can easily just take cover on the truck as its moving to avoid the turrets

"50 thousand health? Obviously they want you to unload into it rather then avoid it"
When something is so ludicrously strong, my first instinct is to avoid, not to charge it. You're the only one getting worked up over it, too.

"a face plate that falls off and reveals a weakspot with a 100x damage multiplier?

is it the car shop heist coming tomorrow then? the vague names on the update page confuse me
Oh my god, how the fuck do you break that armor on the front?
[QUOTE=MarioInATopHat;47343426]is it the car shop heist coming tomorrow then? the vague names on the update page confuse me[/QUOTE]
check the trailer, it has the days
car shop tomorrow, butcher pack in 2 days, SUPER SECRET OVERKILL ;) SECRET in 3 days, hoxton revenge in 4 days

The difference is that a bulldozer isn't a fucking armored truck, it's very clearly a human enemy you're intended to kill and the facemask is easy to break

the side job complete sound is wayy too fucking loud, this scared the shit out of me
This avoid the turret thing would be true if they didn't spawn two of them that completely dominate maps like Bank Heist
Apparently they made the turret taller (and possibly smaller) for some reason. Here's a pic I took yesterday:

Compare to this screencap of a Youtube video:

They probably made it taller so people couldn't easily abuse its dead zone by getting so close to it. I also noticed you seem to get flashed if you're within its dead zone.
As if they couldn't make an already-boring enemy worse.
I was messing with menu poses and shit until

Gonna do a Tabula run right now, will report how large my butthole is afterwords.
Alright so the turret has half a million health according to HoxHud.
