However, use its strong sides, and this turret turns into a game changer. |
| − | The | + | The Newtons weapon of choice is a gravity gun. It can work in two mods: push (repulsing) [[File:push_alt.png]] and pull (attraction) [[File:pull_alt.png]]. This can be switched in units panel, default key being "O". Pushing or pulling units with enough force or under right circumstances will cause them to be lifted off the ground and tossed the desired direction. This can be either used to deter lightweight enemies, drag them out of formation or push them to certain death by causing collision damage. |

Locating it on a hill will allow this turret to easily peel off small raids and hold them off indefinitely, eventually even killing several enemies. It can also punish solo-raiders, like [[Pyro]]s or [[Kodachi]]s. |
