Object description

Laser turrets are an advanced defense building with a longer range, infinite ammo, good damage and use electricity to operate (and a smaller amount of energy when idle). By dealing laser damage they don't face any resistances (enemies receive full damage) but have a lower rate of fire than gun turrets. Each shot costs a constant 800kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so too does the power required to keep firing.

Achievements
