Deployables compared
Deployables sit in or on a base — turrets, windows, shop fronts, embrasures, fences and vending machines. The damage each explosive does to them varies far more than it does on walls, so the best choice depends on the exact item.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Turret | 1,000 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
