Coilgun Turret

The Coilgun Turret

The Coilgun Turret is a vanilla-based turret designed for high-precision combat. Statistically, this turret performs similarly to 2 small grid Railguns, but with smaller projectiles and a higher rate of fire. This Coilgun Turret fires its projectiles in bursts of 5, and unlike the Railgun, it doesn't need to charge up before it shoots. Instead, it consumes power during its firing sequence, and it recharges for a while afterwards.

The theoretical DPS and peak power consumption of the Coilgun Turret is the same as 2 small grid Railguns (1000 DPS and 7.20 MW, respectively), and the coilgun projectiles travel at the same 1000 m/s speed and 1400 m range as the small railgun sabots. The coilgun fires slugs that each deal 1600 damage (16 steel plates), and it can fire 37.5 of them per minute.

The Coilgun Turret's aiming arcs and tracking speed are similar to the Assault Cannon Turret's, but not quite as good as the Gatling Turret's.

This mod is ready for use in survival. It contains all build stages and all LODs, balanced material costs, and has been certified as fun to use by my friends.

CONSOLE USERS: This mod contains a custom script so that the weapon can consume power. It probably won't work on consoles.

Not for WeaponCore. Might behave unexpectedly if used with WeaponCore. This is a vanilla weapon.
