Only appearing twice during the campaigns (there’s one mounted on the Plantation Mansion in Swamp Fever, and another on a military vehicle during the Parish finale), Heavy Machine Gun Turret provides extremely potent and devastating rapid-fire that cuts through foes easily and effectively. Simply point, shoot, and continue until nothing’s left.
This obviously doesn’t extend to your own team, who can easily be caught in the gun’s line-of-fire. So avoid friendly-fire situations, using the weapon to aim at masses of foes or larger, Special Infected forces, especially the Tank. This is highly effective at killing Tanks, if you’re not overwhelmed by side attackers.
Although supremely devastating, the Heavy Machine Gun Turret has some pretty problematic shortfalls—the worst is its immobility. You cannot shift it to another position or turn it more than 100 degrees from left to right. This makes you a sitting target, so a second teammate should guard you to prevent flanking attacks from foes. Note that the Heavy Machine Gun Turret will overheat if used continuously without a cool-down period.
