Turrets

Turrets are enemy artillery in the Metal Slug series. They are defensive fortifications armored with cannons, which are used in the trenches.

Information

The turrets are hardened shelters, often buried partly or fully underground, designed to protect the Rebel Soldiers from falling bombs or other attacks. They were used extensively in Morden Wars for weapons facilities, command and control centers, and storage facilities.

In Metal Slug: Awakening, the Regular Army use turrets as special abilities in Hot Pursuit and Abyssal Cruise. When activated, the turret is summoned close to the player and stays put. It attacks enemies on its own and is invincible. The player loses access to the turret once the chapter is completed in Hot Pursuit, all stages are cleared in Abyssal Cruise, or the player willingly resets all abilities in either mode.

Turret Types

Mainline

	Anti Air-Craft: This turret fires projectiles in the air at an arc. Has low defense.
	Spike Bunker: This turret has spikes on top that kills the player if they jump on top of it. The turret shoots its cannon faster than the Shoe & Karn.
	Double Bunker: This turret also has spikes. It can fire from two different heights.
	Hill Turret: The same as the double bunker, albeit without spikes and weaker.
	Scrap Cannon: A small turret that needs a soldier to operate it. It and the following turrets appear in Metal Slug 7/XX.
	AA Cannon: An anti-air turret.
	HU Gun: This turret is placed on a pillar. It can aim at the enemy unlike most other turrets. Appears in Mission 3 of Metal Slug 7/XX.
	Fall Climber Turrets: The Fall Climber can summon two turrets from behind the waterfall during its boss fight. It has three varying attacks: a laser beam, homing missiles, and bombs launched at an arc.

Metal Slug Attack

	Anti Air-Craft+: Shoots homing projectiles at a fast rate but can't attack units that are too close.
	Scrap Cannon MK II: An improved Scrap Cannon with a red paint job. It can shoot missiles at a faster rate and can stagger the enemies easily.
	Scrap Cannon MK III: Another improved version of the Scrap Cannon painted in violet. Can shoot elemental missiles that have two capabilities: the fiery missiles can knock back the enemies while the icy missiles can stun them.

Metal Slug: Awakening

	Deployed Turret Mk. I: Turret supporting the player by attacking the enemy with its cannon. It and its upgrades are only available in Hot Pursuit.
	Deployed Turret Mk. II: Upgraded turret with its barrage and DMG improved.
	Deployed Turret Mk. III: Fully upgraded form of the Deployed Turret increasing RoF and DMG significantly.
	Lightning Turret: Generates lightning orbs at enemies. Summoned with Summon Expertise cards. Only available in Abyssal Cruise.

Trivia

• They're based on World War I & II bunkers.
• Round type Bunkers (E.g. Spikes, AA) are based off on the Fahrpanzer which is a World War I variant defensive weapon for the German Empire. The difference is that it's not mobile and slightly larger than its real life counterparts. The Slug Trolley's cannon wagons better resemble the Fahrpanzer than the turrets.
