QUESTION: What is the range on the Gravity Amplifier Turret? Zero search results here, some results on r/reddit, where I found this... FYI: (not my profile's screenshot) PS: I only run/own the Northlight mothership with (Lifesaver / Durability Extender / Gravity Amplifier)... sold all my other attack turrets.

If you mean 'how far away a target is from you', I don't think there's any limit. If you can get a target 'box' on them - ie. they are within 1100m - you can call in the strike.

Whatever enemy is acquired by targeting at the moment the strike is initiated, that is where the strike will land, from zero to max radar range. |

Whatever enemy is acquired by targeting at the moment the strike is initiated, that is where the strike will land, from zero to max radar range. With all due respect... AKA asking for a friend. Can you verify this ^^^ to be true in the perimeters set: Nortlight mothership does not have an inherent ranged attack ability, nor the capacity to equip other "attack" turrets except the single attack slot that is taken by the Gravity Amplifier Turret in question. Furthermore, there is no range statistic listed for the Gravity Amplifier Turret (see screen shot above), yet you support that it is has a range of 1100m. Would this / Could this then also be true for other items in the game with no Range statistic present? Whereas, I have personally seen the Gravity Amplifier Turret effect opponents in my immediate 80m vicinity, but am unable to test up to 1100m range effects vs. others as my clan is rather new and we don't squad play... yet! Thank you, sry to be "that guy". I hope you fully understand my question, and thank you for your cooperation. |

Thank you, sry to the "that guy". I hope you fully understand my question, and thank you for your cooperation. Yes, I understand, thanks for asking. Very precisely, there are separate blasts with the various motherships. With Northlight, you have the immediate area blast granting protection and support, and an attack blast that hits whatever enemy your targeting is acquiring at the moment you activate strike. Here is a more detailed description of Northlight by the wiki admin, who receive most of their info directly from the devs. warrobots.fandom.com/wiki/Northlight. I have no idea about if this concept applies to all content with no range description, but I am also deep in a nasty flu right now and thinking straight is a real struggle |

pwn☆broker maybe a little more elaboration. I’ve played a long time, and wrote some detailed descriptions in the ogre reports of how precisely these motherships work. Anyways, it is correct that Northlight does not have a base attack damage factor as other motherships, but if it had no attack at all it would not have an attack turret. So with Northlight, the only damage it will inflict is whatever damage stats relevant to the attack turret used. As far as range, there is a range discrepancy between Target Ray Cannon and Laser Blast Cannon. As for Gravity Amp I use it striking long range targets and they are very clearly stuck within the anomaly moving like molasses as Orion eats their hp. I mostly use the blast to strike campers, and Scorpions of course.

No worries, thanks, and get well soon. Your link was dead, but this one works instead ( warrobots.fandom.com/wiki/Northlight ) where it says, "Also, if an enemy is in target, Northlight shoots them with the turret in it's attack slot." And yet I still wonder about the no range value of the Gravity Amplifier Turret equating a range of 1100m. Maybe there are a few users reading this post who can test Northlight / Gravity Amplifier Turret in a custom game? That would be great empirical evidence of the turret's actual/effective range. (No range is listed for the Aurora Borealis ability either.) Again, hate to be "that guy". PS. Orion has "Energy Hole" ability (targets "the chosen point" it says) and two attack turret slots, where the GAT could piggy-back on the other's range. |

The tricky concept is that you're calling in a strike from an orbital craft. The 'range' on the weapon is 'from orbit to the ground'. How far the enemy is from your robot is only relevant in that you have to be able to 'target' them, so you can do that out to 1100m (ish) regardless of your loadout. Think of it like you're shining a laser pointer on the target that a satellite can see.

Any chance you can verify this to be true regarding Northlight and GAT? Make sure the GAT is not piggy-backing on another "long distance ranged turret or mothership's range ability". Empirical evidence would solve this issue once and for all. |

pwn☆broker It is unfortunate that Pixonic explanations are so haphazard and vague. There are a lot of questions about all sorts of content and descriptions that I tried to get clarified and its just a no win battle. Anyways, if you don’t believe what I’ve told you, then you or your friend can verify it yourself using Northlight and GA in live combat. Have your targeting acquire the hitbox of an enemy that isnt near you, maybe 600+m away or something. You should notice two things: 1) The Aurora blast always lands directly on you giving healing and aegis, and 2) the targeted enemy has a blast effect that causes damage. It doesnt matter if the Aurora description is vague, we all know it strikes in our immediate area and helps any ally within the 80m radius. After all this discussion, it occurs to me that not only would a Laser Blast Cannon be a better choice for attack turret on Northlight, but the effect on a distant target will be more noticeable because the LBC deals significantly more damage. Plus, the effects of only one GA are kinda pathetic.
