I can't understand why this guy isn't mobile.
At first I figured it was a coding issue. However, the VI drone follows you.

It's very name is ASSAULT turret.
How the fuck can you assault anything by just floating there?

Maybe if it had a 10 second cool down it wouldn't be so bad.. but 24 seconds?

I really want to like the engineer!
Bleh.. rage done.

You can still do fantastic with the engineer if you max out the other powers/passives correctly. Unfortunately the turret is just a distraction. I've had bugs were the turret DOES move and chase people too!

Shit for damage but omnilink is nice and the cryo ammo is also a nice debuff. CD sucks donkey dick though. It's not like it's a highly damaging ability. Shorten the CD where it makes more sense BC most still aren't going to use it but it would at least be interesting.

the Geth Turret was great. I loved throwing them everywhere.

the Assault Turret needs a rework. just lowering the cooldown would make it much more usable

Cooldown needs to be way shorter or start when you deploy it, it also needs to use cryo or flamethrower more often, they seem to have a bit of a cooldown to them and the turret will just shoot normally for long periods of time. Should just flame or cryo 100% of the time imo, if you need to spend that many points to get those upgrades they should be good. The flamethrower barely even does damage when it works.

Wasn't there like a ninja buff to the cryo assault turret (rank 6 evo) in terms of its fire rate or something? I'm curious to see if it's any good for the cryo debuff alone. I was playing Firebase Sandstorm and was camped out in the upper area in the far right corner behind those crates and this other player's cryo assault turret seemed like it was debuffing most of the enemies in the area. So I'm thinking of testing out 6 assault turret and 1 cryo beam with a camping team/map since you can't really roam around with a stationary turret.

I don't understand why, once it's been cast it's cool down doesn't trigger.
Every thing in the game has a cool down once cast, yet the turret doesn't begin to cool down until the actual turret is gone....makes no sense.

It's not like they're even OP/potential game breaking

Not to be an apologist, but turrets can very easily become OP. Unlike other powers, a Turret has consistent value so long as its active. Make it too powerful, and it can tilt playstyles towards passivity, which isn't good for either the dev or the player.

I wouldn't mind a cooldown reduction with the turret. Maybe on rank 6, give the Flamethrower a short cooldown since it requires short range, then give the Cryo evo more durability, since that one is rather fire and forget.

CD needs to start once it's deployed, end of story. How this went live as is just demonstrates yet another lack of testing that was done prior to launch.

Honestly I'd like the Cerberus Engineer's turret: Limited firing arc, but effective area denial within that arc for non-boss enemies.

To think that once I could not see beyond the veil of our reality, to see those who dwell behind. My life now has purpose, for I have learned the frailty of flesh and bone.
