Was wondering if ALL turrets now get the mobile firing arc in the 2.0 version? Would be a nice Nerf to turrets... was watching the Team covenant vid of the 2.0 game.. The Y has a mobile firing arc.
mobile firing arc in 2.0
Apparently all turrets now get arc of fire.
Turret upgrades get a 90º rotatable arc.
Primary WT get a 180º-opposite rotatable arc (forward-aft) or (port-starboard)
I can only assume at this point, but if the ion cannon got a mobile arc, all turrets have. I can see most PWTs action chaining from a focus... also, can I just say I friggin LOVE the concept of action chains??
Turrets also apparently get range bonuses according to that play video, only weapons with the little missile icon specifically on them supposedly ignore range bonuses. Looks like a great way to do turrets, and the Ion one hit/crit as danage the rest as Ion tokens looks like it’s a pretty good way to do it.
We have speculate this since Shadow Caster got published that every turret should have been mobile arc. Im pretty pleased with the upcoming updates.
I especially enjoy the changes made to the Jumpmaster which can't change its turret without getting stressed. I do hope the dial for it will be toned down so you really feel the asymmetry. This is the key change that makes me gush all over this new ed. to be honest. I have wished for this for so long!
Yup.
The presentation stated that all turret upgrades will have a single mobile firing arc in a single quadrant, and PWTs will have two opposing mobile arcs.
The Lancer looks like it's still got a front arc and a separate single mobile arc.
How the K Wing works will be interesting. I suspect that it will lose its PWT.
I can't wait to see what they do to the K-Wing! Guess we'll have to wait a few months to see what they have planned in the upgrade kit.
