A/GL-8 Launcher Turret

"'The A/GL-8 Launcher Turret is the latest development in automated sentry technology. Launching the same rounds as the Obliterator, it has immense firepower and shoots over obstacles. Meant for fixed position defense, a variable firing range was not deemed necessary during development. The turret can discern friend from foe, but watch out for the blast radius.' - Armory Description"

Gameplay Tips

 * Like the regular grenades every Helldiver carries, this turret is not capable of damaging Cyborg IFVs or destroying mission objectives.


 * With the Mk3 upgrade, Phosphorus Grenades, the A/GL-8 Launcher Turret's grenades will set fire to everything caught in their blast, dealing fire damage over time.
 * Most other incendiary weapons, such as the FLAM-40 Incinerator and fully-upgraded DBS-2 Double Freedom, cannot ignite armoured targets unless their weak spot is hit. The A/GL-8 does not have this limitation: only Cyborg IFVs are immune to being ignited by its phosphorus grenades.


 * The A/GL-8 is the only turret capable of hitting prone/downed Helldivers. Adjust your tactics accordingly.


 * The fixed range of the A/GL-8's indirect-fire weapon means that once an enemy gets very close to the turret, it will be free to attack with impunity.


 * If you can keep it from being sniped, this turret will make short work of nearly anything the Illuminates are able to throw at it.
