Base Turret

Base Turrets are powerful weapon emplacements and are the only pre-placed defenses in Tribes: Ascend. There are typically two turrets around each base on a map.

Operation
Base Turrets automatically track and fire upon enemies in range. They can predict a target's path and intercept them unless they are moving at very high speed. These turrets fire very powerful energy blasts that can kill a light-armored player in one shot.

Upgrades
Base Turrets can be upgraded 4 times by spending credits earned in a match. Each upgrade increases the turret's firing rate, damage, and health. Upgrade costs are as follows:
 * 1) 1500 Credits
 * 2) 1500 Credits
 * 3) 2000 Credits
 * 4) 2000 Credits
