very carefully push bookshelves or lockers to block line of sight from the turret to the stairs (and from the turret to anywhere you have to go to get to the stairs). I’ve never seen it literally RIGHT next to a turret… if that happens, well, yeah, you’re hosed.
Yeah. Last i checked they carry about 50 rounds.
If you have serious armor, or an absolute fuckton of bandages you could tank a burst, run out, heal up, repeat.
I have opened doors, and then lead zombie after zombie into the turrets FOV and it works pretty well.[/quote]
They have 100 rounds, though they occasionally manage to shoot a few more than that, if you count the casings (I think they are allowed to finish their last burst, even if they go over). 12ish bursts of fire, and they’re done (unless it’s been changed quite recently).
They will fire at range 18, and the non-military turrets aren’t very good shots at that range, so it’s not too hard to get them to waste their fire without getting hurt TOO bad. Even heavy clothing can be enough to to survive several bursts at max range. (A good helmet is highly recommended!)
The military ones seemed to have been nerfed in the last month or so, and now it’s possible to occasionally survive a round of fire from them. Maybe. If you have decent armor. Up until recently, I had never survived a single burst of fire from one, no matter what non-power armor I was wearing, and it was almost exclusively torso damage, so they are REALLY accurate and REALLY deadly. (That’s down to one REALLY instead of 3 or 4 before the nerf.) The range seems to be the same, though (18).
