PocketCartTurret
Turn your pocket cart into an automatic turret with a mounted cannon or laser. Only the host needs the mod; friends can play completely vanilla.PocketCartTurret
Turn your pocket cart into a mobile automatic turret.
Drop a Cart Cannon or Cart Laser into a pocket cart and let it watch your back. PocketCartTurret automatically detects nearby enemies, turns the weapon toward the closest clear target, and opens fire while you keep pulling the cart.
Only the host needs the mod. Your friends can play completely vanilla.
Host-only installation, shared firepower
Install PocketCartTurret on the host and everyone in the lobby can enjoy the automatic turret, including players without this mod or BepInEx. Weapon rotation, warning beeps, firing effects, and damage use the game's existing multiplayer synchronization.
No extra setup or downloads are required for your friends. Installing the mod only on a client does not enable automatic turrets; it must be installed on the host.
How to use
- Install PocketCartTurret and its BepInExPack dependency on the host.
- Bring a pocket cart and a Cart Cannon or Cart Laser into a mission.
- Place the weapon in the pocket cart and keep its battery charged.
- Let the turret track and fire. Keep pulling the cart as usual.
Grab the weapon itself whenever you want manual control. Release it in the pocket cart to resume automation.
Features
- Cannon and laser support: turn the weapons you already own into automatic turrets.
- Automatic targeting: tracks the nearest enemy with a clear firing path within 70% of the weapon's normal range—17.5 m for cannons and 10.5 m for lasers.
- Warning before firing: arming beeps play while the turret tracks. The first shot requires two seconds of continuous tracking and an aligned, unobstructed barrel.
- Keep moving: pull your pocket cart normally while the mounted weapon aims horizontally.
- Vanilla weapon behavior: keeps normal battery consumption, damage, and firing effects. Automation pauses when the weapon is grabbed, removed from the pocket cart, or out of power.
Brief loss of detection restarts the two-second tracking hold. Uninterrupted follow-up shots use the weapon's normal preparation time. Weapons on the floor or in a large cart do not become automatic turrets.
Installation
Use a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager and install this package on the host. Its BepInExPack dependency will be installed automatically.
For manual installation, install BepInExPack first, then extract this ZIP's BepInEx folder into your R.E.P.O. game directory. The plugin is BepInEx/plugins/PocketCartTurret/PocketCartTurret.dll.
