*The gunner is highly exposed atop the Shade, with cover only available via the gun mechanism itself. This leaves the operator open to flanking maneuvers and attacks from multiple angles.

It will turn to shoot you, even though you are on it. You will likely to fall off; when you do, crouch and keep walking forward to the centre of the turret. Usually it will teleport you away a couple of meteres. If you are lucky, you might appear in an object, like a boulder. | ||
