Operative direct control of turrets still in?

(Cankor) #1

Seems like in the last vid when the operative hacked the turret he didn’t control it directly? That said it wasn’t in 1st person, maybe it was in 3rd person to show what was happening better but it makes me wonder if you can still control them directly or was it overpowered and taken out?

I thought he just hacked it and the turret would target the other team (but was still automated).

Manual control would be interesting though.

I would prefer that is on auto, but last I heard it was manual.

I always thought that the operative could hack the turret to aim automatically or fire manually. The manual fire may be a sort of add on ability.

Await the sounds of the holy hooves.

The base level hacking just makes the turret swap target sets and attack the other team but it stays automated. There was supposed to be a higher level perk that lets you actually control the turret you hack in first person mode. It was mentioned in some previews. It is an upgrade of the hacking ability, not sure if it has made the final game though.

Thanks Maawdawg.

They did say they axed a large number of abilities which were essentially just higher powered versions of other abilities they kept. Maybe this was one of them.
