I've been trying to get the second level of engineer and I'm starting to get really annoyed. Can someone explain the spawnable turrets to me, like along the lines of how I get more of them and how many I can have out at a time? Because it seems random to me when I can spawn them and when I can't. I'm not talking about when it's reloading or when there isn't enough space to spawn them, I mean when the blocks under the turret symbol are just empty (I'm assuming those little white blocks represent how many you have?). Sometimes it will even tell me I have them, and then they just disappear. Sorry if this is already painfully obvious to everyone else but I'm confused.

I think it depends on the number of turrets your team currently has deployed, or the amount of time it's been since the last one was deployed... ? I know that's how it is for the air turret.

I don't understand what randomly cursing has to do with Killzone 2. Unless, of course, you are speaking of a knee-jerk reaction to curse when not understanding how you set up those gun things.

Those blocks indicate how many turrents your team has available (not just you). Each team is allowed only 4 turrets so if all 4 are used up, you have to wait till one of them gets destroyed to deploy one. Also after you deploy a turret, you have to wait for a certain amount of time before you can deploy another, unless you die. Hope that helps

Hmm I don't think it's the amount of time between them because that would be inditcated by the little loading bar right? The amount per team makes sense but I really hope that's not true, setting up a turret in a spot that will get a lot of kills and that won't get destroyed easily is hard enough without having to compete with the other engineer's.

this is a bit off topic, but i have unlocked the engineer class but haven't use it because i notice you can only carry a shotgun. can you carry any other gun as you progress as an engineer or is the shotgun the only gun you can use??

No, by time I meant the amount of time since the last slot for a turret on your team was filled up, otherwise, like you said, that could lead to a lot of frustration."

Your team can only have 4 down at one time. everyone shares the same 4 slots. If you want to make sure their all your turrets you can blow up your own teams turrets for no penalty. people might see you and get mad but chances are they wont see you. It may not be the fairest way but it'll get it done fast.

It'll also get you black balled real fast. Don't be a douche and go around handicapping your own team just to get a ribbon. Figure out the prime place for a turret in a level and hang out. Keep an eye on your turret button and wait till one become available. Then slap it down. I might take awhile but eventually you can get two or three and begin tearing things up.

Is there an easy way to kill a turret if you placed it in one location, say for a Search and Destroy defense, and then want to place another one elsewhere? I shot my own turret once but I was standing too close and killed myself. Whoops...

Ah, I think you mean Tourettes :P"

Well I got the turret ribbon and it was not so hard getting it. Just make shore you join long warzone game, and place the turret in a place it's hard to get a grenade to and in a place where your enemy's are running strait to the turret, like a hall way. Good luck with getting it.

There was a clan game set up where we helped each other get the Turret medal.  It was fun, you should join us so we can do it ASAP!  :D 

If I remember correctly, it's how a lot of us got the revolver as well.  We made a pistol's only game and won it.
