Deathloop, the original shooter developed by Arkane Studios and distributed by Bethesda Softworks, it is undoubtedly one of the most talked about games of the moment, also and above all because, thanks to its gameplay based on loop temporali, he immediately managed to build a large community of players.
Despite this, the game is still extremely young and, therefore, it is normal that some of its aspects are not yet universally known within the gamer community. Precisely for this reason, in this new guide dedicated to Deathloop we have chosen to address a specific element of the game mechanics: the deactivation of the guard towers.
Armed and dangerous
Certainly no guide is needed to explain how the enemies we encounter in Deathloop are, for the most part, well armed and trained and that inside the equipment in their possession there are often also guard turrets. These are used by them for defend positions in which they are not interested in staying physically or even simply to ensure greater firepower. Disabling them is obviously useful, but it is even more useful take control of it to use them against the same opponents who had placed them.
Disconnect the power – Deathloop: how to deactivate the turrets
On paper, the simplest way to deactivate a turret is to remove the battery that feeds it. This is located in the rear of the placement weapon and to remove it, simply come into contact and interact with it. What makes this operation problematic is the fact that, to be completed, one must be extremely close to the turret. It is indeed quite complex to approach these devices and at the same time avoid being identified.
Take Control – Deathloop: How To Disable Turrets
In this paragraph of the guide, let’s see how this is possible take control of a turret using theHackamajig, which is in the possession of all Deathloop players. The procedure is extremely simple: you need to equip the Hackamajig and, being careful not to be detected, point it at the device you intend to take control of. After this is done, a message appears on the screen telling us which controller key to press to start the hacking procedure (L1 in the PlayStation 5 version).
The turrets under our control can be activated and deactivated at will. When you go to place them, you can choose to leave them off. Also through the use of the Hackamajig, it will then be possible to activate them remotely. This feature, when used creatively, can create a lot of havoc within the enemy’s ranks.
