Gatlyn

Gatlyn is a Rare tank in Hills of Steel 2.

Primary:
Gatlyn fires fast-moving, long-range bullets that travel in a straight line. There is a short delay as Gatlyn's turret spins up to speed. The turret starts pointed downward and raises as the gun is fired; the longer the gun fires the more erratic the firing pattern becomes.

Special:
Gatlyn places a stationary gun turret directly in front of the tank. The turret fires similarly to the tank's main attack, only slower and for less damage. It can be attacked and destroyed independently, and disappears after a certain amount of time.

There is a bried delay between deploying the turret and when it begins firing, at which point it locks on to the nearest enemy or object (including Wally's wall and enemy Gatlyn turrets), changing targets when the first target is destroyed or leaves range.

Strategy
Gatlyn has the fastest rate of fire and one of the highest damage outputs, but it can be difficult to keep enemies within Gatlyn's line of fire.

Be mindful of how the slope of terrain will interact with your current trajectory, and try to get Gatlyn's barrels spinning just before you have your target sighted.

Fire in bursts to keep the turret at the correct height and prevent the barrels from slowing down.

Place Gatlyn in front of its turret to protect it and add to your damage output or use the turret as a shield as needed.

Trivia
The name 'Gatlyn' is a combination of the term "gatling" and various names that end in "‐lyn".
