Inky Turrets are a special type of weapon created by Comrade Black to destroy Blob. They remain stationary, fire ink blasts at Blob, and require 50 paint points to be destroyed. Turrets are the second most powerful INKT weapon in the game, and are only outranked by Inky Tanks.
Background[]
Inky turrets are basically weaker versions of Inky tanks. They are planted into the ground and are normally piloted by an Inky. Turrets were introduced to the game in Guggentraz Island and were created to stop Blob from returning colour to Chroma City, and later Prisma City. They have the ability to shoot ink from a distance, adding more of a risk to the area.
Strategy[]
The quickest and easiest way to destroy an Inky Turret is to have 50 points and then run behind it and slam it to destroy it. A slower way is to run towards it and slam it regardless of the amount of paint points you have, then quickly run away, get more paint points and slam it again, and repeat this process until destroyed. This, however, is risky, because if Blob has less than 50 paint points when he slams the turret, he will be left with 0 paint points. If Blob gets hit by the Turret with 0 paint points, he will die immediately. This is only a good strategy if there are multiple paint bots nearby, as the turret's ink is capable of taking down blob with less than 30 paint points quite easily, so be warned. If you see a target appear on Blob keep moving to avoid being hit by the ink.
Trivia[]
- An Inky turret is 8'0 ft, it weighs 1200lbs and can shoot ink in a 20 ft radius.
- It is made from the same material as leechbots.
- Inky Turrets can only shoot five blasts of ink at a time before reloading.
- Some turrets can also shoot fire and electricity in de Blob 2.
- A modified version of the inky turret, known as an Inky Mortar, is introduced in de Blob 2.
Turret Wheel[]
The Turret Wheel is a special type of turret variant, only seen in de Blob 2. They are normally found in major landmarks across the game - with the exception of the Inky Fabricator. These wheels normally consists of at least four or more turrets, placed at equidistant points on the wheel. Since the turrets are placed on axles, they have the ability to shoot outwards, as well as inwards.
