Turret Gear

* Current
* Old

*"you become a walking turret"*

**Turret Gear** is a Hat in MooMoo.io.

## Technical

* It's a rotating turret on your head.
* The Turret Gear shoots Cannonballs at nearby enemies, just like a Turret, but the animated top sprite does not need to face the target, and it instead just spins around.
* It does 25 damage per shot.
* It fires every 2.5 seconds.
* It has a target range of 700.
* You move at 70% of your normal speed while wearing it.
* Costs 10000.

## Strategy

* Turret Gear is OK to do a insta but bull helmet is more efficient.

### Using

* Try to hit an opponent with a high knockback weapon, like the Bat or the Polearm so the hat could deal some ranged damage.
* Combine with a Monkey Tail and a ranged weapon to easily kite the enemy.
* You can also use it to kill AFK players in their bases, as it shoots through walls (unless they use Windmills as part of the wall)
* Don't walk around with this all the time, as it slows your speed noticeably.
* Walk to an opponent, quickly equip it and then unequip. This will fire a cannonball and provoke the opponent.
* An advanced version of insta-kill involves Turret Hat. Equip the Bull Helmet, then hit your opponent (using E) with Short Sword/Polearm, and switch quickly to Musket. (if you are using Polearm, then Crossbow will do) Simultaneously equip the Turret Gear. This is used widely to insta-kill Soldier Helmet users. It is very hard to pull this off without Hacking, but many hackers do it with ease.
	+ For the instakill, hold down your cursor on the Equip button, and release when you want to wear it.
* You can use this to counter Assassin Gear. Even when users of it are invisible, Turrets and Turret Gear will attack it.
* To counter Bull Helmet users, you can equip Spike Gear. Then, when they hit you, hit them back with a Katana and quickly equip Turret Hat. If done quickly enough, they will instantly die. (Have the Hats menu pulled up, and swing by pressing E)

### Against

* Use the Wooden Shield or Soldier Helmet to negate the Cannonball's damage.
* Use the Daggers, Booster Hat, Monkey Tail, or Shadow Wings to escape the Cannonball.
* Use your superior speed to your advantage.

## Trivia

* This hat is one of 3 animated hats; the others are Spike Gear and Windmill Hat. These three hats (along with Booster Hat) are also the only Hats with corresponding Structures.
* In the changelog, it is referred to as the "Turret Hat".
* Sidney first announced the Turret Gear when he announced version 1.0, but it was added in version 1.1.
* The Turret Gear shoots 0.3 seconds slower than regular Turrets.
* Though the Turret spins, it can fire in any direction at any time.
* The Turret Gear is the first and only hat to have an AI in the game.
* It, along with the Daggers, MOOSTAFA, Treasure, the caps and the Thief Gear, was teased by Yendis Entertainment on the Discord server, on 16/05/2018. (Although, the sprite doesn't look the same as the one we currently have in the game.)
