Detector Tower

The Detector Tower is an Automaton enemy tactical asset that slowly rotates and observes its surroundings using its large red "eye." Once a player is spotted it will call for Dropships endlessly until destroyed, making it an extremely dangerous subobjective to go loud and stealthily infiltrating the tower be the better option. When near the base of the tower, Helldivers will have access to the NUX-223 Hellbomb Stratagem to destroy it.

Tips

 * Detector Towers spawn in difficulty levels 5 - 9.
 * While the Hellbomb is a guaranteed way to destroy the tower the Orbital Laser Strike and Eagle 500kg Bomb can also destroy the tower in desperate situations. Rumors have claimed that the tower can be destroyed with support weapons but these claims have not been concretely proven.
 * When calling in a Hellbomb, Helldivers should throw the bomb a small distance away from the tower as the beacon will not activate immediately and roll around for a couple seconds if too close.
 * There will usually be one Automaton Fabricator near the Detector Tower, destroying the fabricator and any Troopers around it without being spotted will leave the tower basically defenseless as there are no more Troopers that can call for Dropships if a player is spotted and the tower cannot detect Helldivers if they are close to its base.
