The autocannon turret is a defense structure that fires a burst of high damage shells. It has a maximum range of 32.9 tiles, but cannot hit enemies within an 8.9 tile radius.
After firing 90 rounds it requires a barrel change, costing 120 steel.
Usage
Its use is not cost-effective as its shots are rather expensive, averaging 1.33 steel each. In addition, despite its long range, its low accuracy makes it unable to make the most out of it.
It can be useful in killboxes where it is more likely to hit, by bringing enemies closer together and putting them in range.
Due to their high damage output, autocannons can be effective at mowing down mechanoid scythers when grouped, provided you can lure them within range; their charge lances are otherwise able to outrange them by roughly 4 tiles.
