Drops
Tesla Turret drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Stationary electric perimeter batteries of martian engineers
Tesla Turrets are automated energy defenses deployed by Martian Engineer specialists during the Martian Madness invasion. Anchored firmly into the ground with 200 life and 40 defense, these high-voltage pylons do not move from their placement spot. Physical contact deals 10 base damage, but their true menace is their expanding electrical field.
Disabling area denial fields before shock damage accumulates
Once active, the Tesla Turret projects arcs of electrical lightning into the surrounding air, damaging any player who lingers within its radius and inflicting the Electrified debuff. The debuff inflicts rapid damage over time, which increases if the player moves while shocked. Slaying deploying engineers or sniping turrets from long range eliminates this dangerous area denial construct. Master mode grants the pylon 600 life, while its electrified zap fields output 30 damage to mobile intruders.
Trivia
- Tesla Turrets are placed onto the battlefield by Martian Engineers during Martian Madness.
- Their electric field inflicts the Electrified debuff, which drastically increases damage taken while moving.
