Gun Emplacement

Gun emplacements are robots encountered in Appalachia in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
Gun emplacements appear to be a bulkier version of standard machine gun turrets, taking a form similar to the turrets found atop the armored personnel carriers found throughout the Commonwealth and Appalachia. They are generally found broken and in need of repair around community workshops and other areas of high importance, such locations include the Converted munitions factory and the Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06.

They fire explosive rounds at approaching combatants but are not very durable, easily being disabled by a few swings of a board by a super mutant, a lone feral ghoul, or even a swarm of mole rats, Liberators, or mongrels. They do prove valuable in helping fend off scorchbeasts due to the scorchbeasts mainly staying in the air, allowing the emplacements to fire on them with a steady barrage of cannon fire while remaining undamaged.

Repairing a disabled gun emplacement requires a set amount of oil, aluminum, gears, and steel.
