**Detached Security Turret** is a heavy machine gun in *Wasteland 3: Cult of the Holy Detonation*.

## Description

Ripped out of its machine network, this turret gazes wistfully at you, eager to fire a fuckton of searing hot laser beams directly into your face.

## Characteristics

Despite preinstalled Energy damage, it is possible to convert this weapon to other damage types (Fire, Cold or Explosive) by using the appropriate damage type conversion mods. This won't add a second damage type but replace the originally installed Energy damage.

Shortened Barrel  alongside with Toxic Linkage  or Crippling Linkage  or Razor Linkage  mods can almost triple this weapon's damage, giving the weapon 43 - 49 x14 (602 - 686) damage per attack, at the cost of -10% Hit chance.

Damage can be farther increased from various bonuses. Also Energy damage provide +99 Armor penetration, which negates target's armor completely.
