it is just really weak for ppl to unlock the skin rewards over 60000 kill/dmg preformed. basically i don't think it is achievable normally as it is too weak in term of its fire power and workable distance.

@Psubond Yes, with the official experiences anyway. Same with the weekly Battlepass missions.

@GVlXxf It got nerfed relentlessly to become the piece of dung that it is. They really need to add some effectiveness back to it. If you have a need to T1, they work in full XP Portal theme modes and are effective against bots. Still takes a while but gets the job done.

The darn thing usually gets destroyed seconds after being set up. Then if it is lucky to be out there for a while. It spots more than it shoots. For some reason it seems as if I have to be taken down and waiting for a revive for the turret to get active with doing damage.

@X-Sunslayer-X When I hear automatic turret I immediately envision the auto turrets in Aliens.
But at launch priority for targeting was aircraft - ground vehicle - drones - ranger - infantry.
There were several fixes to the turret to get near the intended behavior, and when it did what it should do it was nerfed into oblivion.
T1 requirements were never touched.
I wonder how many people have the "B gun's dry" achievement.

Badges/achievements should not be a consideration when it comes to balancing.
Adjust the T1 requirements instead.
Turret works fine as a distraction/decoy,.

This will probably have to be done in one of those XP farming portal servers against bots because Breakthough matches unfortunately do not have as many sectors or players as when BF2042 first launched, and good luck finding a hot spot with that many enemies at an objective in conquest.
It is ridiculous how fast this turret is destroyed by bullets compared to the Ranger that can sponge them for minutes.

@Skill4Reel do acheivements count in portal with bots?

@PsubondI have not tested this myself, but I have seen a few youtube videos that say that they do.
Edit: One guy got the seven Dozer kills in an empty portal server with bots and XP enabled.
