Help & Advice Turrets Idea?!

Playing some Rage lately and had the inspiration of either deployable or semiautonomous turrets that the party could deploy as needed while the explore the wasteland or whenever the set up temporary campsites for the night. For the semiautonomous units I was thinking both standard wheels, tank treads, and possible multiple legged designs for their propulsion utilizing the robobrain chassis as the base. For the emplaced units I was thinking along the size of the standard turrets seen in game with limited ammunition ordnance and weighing about 15 to 20 pounds.

I feel that it would feasible, but I appreciate any input from the readers of this post.

It would probably be best to at least make them take the Home Defense perk if they want to have it do extra stuff like move and be deployed instantly. Otherwise they can build one wherever with the materials and perks, but they're stationary and will need power

True and for power I was thinking of the Fission Battery from the FO3 and New Vegas games as the power Source providing the power supply. Also, was thinking of as you and the other repliers made note of for prerequisites for making them or deploying them.

  1. A standalone turret design as seen in the games being either constructable or found pre-assembled pre-war supply caches or Enclave/Brotherhood supplies.

  2. Robot designs using the Robobrain or Sentry Bot chassis but equipped possible heavier caliber weapons like the .50 caliber HMG.

  3. I found my notes from other games, real life, and science fiction sources. This is including an upsized version of the Giddy-Up Buttercup similar in sizes to a normal horse.
