Axton Turtle Turrets (Tanking Turret Build for Axton)

Defensive Turret Build made for Revised_Tactics. I don't know much about Axton, but I'll give this my best attempt. Your turrets in this build are designed to be as beefy as possible in order to take the hits for your team. As long as the shield holds you will be perfectly safe from bullets and you even have a backup turret if the first shield drops. Use a Pangolin brand Turtle shield and a class mod with Resourceful, Preparation and Quick Charge if you can find one, Resourceful being the most important of the 3. A relic to boost you shields is a plus but not required. Now to the talents.

Survival Tree

1. Preparation is mainly a filler talent but it lets you take the hits for your team if your turrets are down. 3% shield capacity and 0.4% health regen (per secon) for each rank.
2. Pressure improves shield recharge delay and reload speed based on what % of health you have. Lower HP increases the effects. up to -14% shield delay and +12% reload speed.
3. Phalanx is what gives your turrets the ability to soak damage. It creates a shield around the turrets that allows allies to shoot through but blocks enemy bullets.
4. Quick Charge just causes your shields to recharge when you get a kill. 1% charge per second for every point.
5. Resourceful causes your turret to cooldown faster allowing you to use it more. 5% cooldown rate per rank.
6. Mag-Lock lets you stick your turrets to the wall or ceiling. Is it important? No. Is it fun? Heck yeah!
7. Grit. Instead of dying you have a chance to regain half you health. Your turrets can't tank if you are dead so you should probably stay alive. 4% chance per point.
8. Gemini lets you deploy two turrets at once, enough said.

Gunpowder Tree

1. Impact is just a filler. Increases gun damage by 4% and melee damage by 3% per point.
2. Metal Storm is another filler that grants fire rate and recoil reduction when you get a kill. 12% fire rate and 15% recoil reduction per point.
3. Longbow Turret is the only reason we dumped points into the Gunpowder tree. It increases turret deployment range and grants +110% health to your turrets.

Guerilla Tree

1. Sentry grants 2 seconds of uptime on your turret for every point. More uptime means more tank time.

This will leave you with 1 leftover point that I put in Healthy for survivability.
