In stark contrast to the UNSC’s risk/reward Turret conversions, Banished Turrets support straightforward upgrades. Each Turret upgrade adds a new type of weapon, ensuring that a fully modified Turret deals reliable damage to all unit types.
Of course, offense isn’t always the best defense—larger Banished bases also support a number of passive defensive structures. Sensor Towers enhance line of sight and cloak detection, Shield Generators protect structures and nearby units from hostile fire, and Cloaking Generators can render entire bases invisible to enemies.
