Gun Emplacement

Gun Emplacements are a type of turret and workshop object $$

Background
A fixed defensive emplacement capable of firing in a 360-degree radius, mounted on a foundation.

Gameplay
The turret does as much damage as a regular machine gun turret and 20% more damage than its heavy variant. It has 250 health as opposed to 200 for those that can be constructed. The emplacement fires on targets in the air, such as scorchbeasts, but does not shoot low enough to target smaller attackers, such as mongrels or mole rats. Damaged emplacements can be repaired and will defend the area from hostile creatures.

The emplacements are located across Appalachia in places such as the Rockhound, Wade Airport, Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06, and the converted munitions factory. They are sometimes found at claimable public workshops and have to be repaired to become functional. They provide 8 workshop defenses and cause medium stagger to enemies.

Repair
The component costs do not decrease with the use of Contractor perk.

Bugs
After the Wastelanders update, heavy gun emplacements no longer fire on enemies within their range. While they will track and target them, they never fire any rounds at them, leaving them vulnerable to being attacked and disabled easily.
