Gauss turret is a single target turret (only damages one unit at a time) and the first turret that the player can unlock in the game. It can handle skirmishes fine, but is easily overwhelmed when the dark fog begins to invade in large swarms.

Player Tips & Tricks

  • Gauss Turrets can do a solid job defending facilities in the early game. However, once the Dark Fog begins to send larger swarms of units, be prepared to integrate Missile Turrets into the defense as well, as these can damage multiple enemies per shot and knock them back. A combination of Gauss and Missile Turrets can keep most starting factories safe, and Icarus can also get in on the fight using Combustible Units for crowd control.
