'''Spike turrets''' are an emplaced weapon utilised by the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=442-443}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Blitz|HW2|List of Blitz cards|Blitz card|Detail=Spike Turret}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
Spike turrets are automated emplacements primarily used for the defence of [[Banished outpost]]s on the ground. As standard, up to four spike turrets can be built on any outpost, with a dedicated slot provided at each of the four corners of the base. The turret itself sits atop four legs, and is able to rotate 360<sup>o</sup> around the base to provide full overlapping fields of fire alongside other defences. These turret slots can also be used to install [[Cloaking Generator]]s, [[Banished shield generator|shield generators]], and [[Sensor Tower]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=HW2|HW2|Banished Turret in-game unit}}{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Turret}} | |||
When deployed, they are generally carried into position by a [[dropship]] such as an [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Spirit]].{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}}{{Ref/Reuse|Blitz}} | |||
===Armaments=== | |||
The spike turret's primary armament consists of its eponymous [[Spike cannon]],{{Ref/NoteReuse|spikecannon}} presumably [[gravitic]] in nature similar to the [[Spiker]]s used by [[Jiralhanae]] infantry, with twin barrels that alternate firing. To bolster its capabilities, the spike turret is capable of receiving a number of upgrades to make it more effective against select kinds of targets. Unlike its [[human]] and [[Covenant]] counterparts (respectively the [[M5 Talos]] and {{Pattern|Kewu Umppi'pa'|citadel turret}}), it is not restricted to only one of these upgrades, and is instead capable of mounting any combination of all three. They are as follows: | |||
*'''Anti-infantry''' - installs twin [[plasma cannon]]s onto the turret. | |||
*'''Anti-vehicle''' - installs a [[fuel rod cannon]] into the turret between the two spike cannons. | |||
*'''[[Anti-aircraft weapon|Anti-aircraft]]''' - installs twin [[Thrasher missile]] launchers onto the turret. | |||
Careful Banished base overseers are generally careful to not install all three upgrades onto their turrets needlessly, instead adapting to the situation as needed.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | |||

Spike turrets can be built at any Banished base upgraded to Citadel or Fortress. They cost {{HW2Supplies|300}} to build, and can mount all three specialist upgrades at once (unlike their UNSC counterparts). Each upgrade can be purchased for {{HW2Power|200}}.{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}} | |||
Overall turret upgrades can be researched at the [[Banished War Council|War Council]] building. | |||
