The Basic Turret is the first turret unlocked in Lock's Quest. It fires shots one at a time. It is unlocked on the Tutorial in all versions. The Basic Turret is used as the line of defense in the Siege in the original game.
Description[]
The Basic Turret has a tan colored circular at the Base, with four cannons underneath it. It also has a large screw and a tan colored base connected with purple wires and gray blocks.
Function[]
The Basic Turret fires cannonballs at a singular enemy, but can fire quickly. In the original and remastered game, the turret deals 40 damage to enemies, but when boosted by the Damage Helper in the original game, they will deal 50 damage. In the Android version, they deal 20 damage to enemies.
Notes[]
The Basic Turret can only shoot one at one enemy at a time, but re-fires quickly; as such, using about 2 or 3 at available chokepoints is always recommended. They are also very effective with splash turrets, such as Burning Splashes or Acid Touches. At the near end of the game, Lock can build an upgraded version of the Basic Turret, the Gungnir, but the Basic Turret still cannot lose any usefulness, especially when at the halfway point and the climax of the game, Lock has already built Range and Damage Helpers respectively, the Basic Turret keeps its maximum usage when boosted with Range and Damage Helpers.
