An exploding turret will spark and emit a hissing sound before exploding {{ticks|240}} later, dealing 50 [[Damage Type#Bomb|Bomb]] damage in a 5.9 tile radius around itself.

Like all mech cluster buildings, auto charge turrets not only have a [[Flammability]] of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame]] damage type. This is in contrast to, for example, a [[stone]] [[wall]] which will not be ignited by [[molotov cocktails]] but will take the 10 flame damage from the initial attack. | Like all mech cluster buildings, auto charge turrets not only have a [[Flammability]] of 0%, but also take no damage from attacks with the [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame]] damage type.

− | + | Like all mech cluster turrets its is not possible to out-range an auto charge turret, however just like with pawn weapons accuracy decreases with distance, so standing at max range behind cover with a [[sniper rifle]] is a valid strategy for dealing with any mech cluster turret. | |

− | Each shot from | + | Each shot from a deals a surprisingly large amount of damage, surpassing the [[mini-slugger turret]] in terms of both raw damage and armor penetration per shot, resulting in a decently high DPS. Fortunately its accuracy is less then stellar at any range which if combined with player-built fortifications or, in a pinch stone blocks laying around the map, can reduce the damage it deals down to potentially nothing. The fact that it is stationary doesn't help it either, so a good strategy is to pull any mobile mechs spawned from the cluster back to a pre-prepared kill-box and deal with them before coming back to clean this turret up. The final nail in its coffin however is the fact that it can't fire at any pawns within ~4 tiles of itself, so running in and meleeing it to death is another valid strategy, although do be mindful that it can explode when damage below 50% of its HP, so make sure your pawn is mobile and ready to move a moments notice (a [[jump pack]] or [[bionic leg|bionic legs]] can help greatly here). |
