How to get it

For turret kits, use the turret-themed boxes in the post-battle shop. Open a turret box and choose a Gun Turret kit when it appears in the selection. A particular kit is not guaranteed in each box; use the kit guide below to understand the updated shop.

What it is for

Place it along the ship’s hull to shoot approaching aliens. The Gun Turret’s own description presents it as the basic defensive weapon. Read the selected gun’s panel for its current combat values. The Airlock and its units are the final safety net for enemies that pass your turret defenses.

Move or demolish?

The two bottom controls do different jobs. Use the four-direction arrow on the left to preserve the gun when changing its position. The trash can on the right dismantles it. The September Demo applies these rules to turrets:
