Looking at something like Team Fortress 2, that game's turret is like a bunker. If you put it down and have enough supplies, the opposing team can't get past it unless you have like, 18 people throwing their bodies at it, and the turret is killing people left and right. It's a very different experience than the turret we shipped in Valorant. What we always found most exciting about the turret is this feeling of setting up a crossfire of your own. Sorta like, "OK, somebody is going to attack this chokepoint, my turret [is] on the right-hand side, and I'll hold the left-hand side."
