Missile turret

Missile turret is a local self-defence upgrade for the Combine: “The Combine gets a missile turret on the roof for self-defense.” The link to the harvester is also present in the attached upgrade component, not just in the description. In build 23882143 its cost is 50 minerals and installation takes three seconds. The harvester’s weapon component contains range, damage and firing timing, so an empty weapon field on the upgrade itself is not proof that no such data exists. Its purpose remains self-defence; the presence of a weapon does not turn an economic vehicle into a frontline combat unit.

Missile turret, Maintainability and Emergency call are distinct entries concerning the Combine in build 23882143. They address equipment, recovery and replacement rather than proving that the developer considers it more exposed than every other unit. The Mutant Big collector costs 200 minerals in its own record, but that price does not establish a direct equivalent or prove the absence of all related upgrades. For this page the reliable evidence is the self-defence description and the component link to the Combine, whose economic role remains unchanged.

The Combine costs 100 minerals and has 500 base hit points with 15 front armour in build 23882143. Those chassis values do not predict how long its turret can hold off a raid. Use the attachment as a possible self-defence aid while preserving the harvesting route and nearby support. The BREM costs 100 minerals and has 500 base hit points with 25 armour; it is a separate repair option, not an alternative weapon upgrade. Consult the harvester weapon record for theoretical output and judge the raid’s actual strength before relying on it.

The Combine’s 15 front armour and 550 combined hit points describe the chassis, not an assurance that a lone raider wins or loses. Its turret has measurable component data, so assess that weapon instead of assuming it does nothing against a larger attack. The MCV also has 15 front armour, at a cost of 1 000 minerals, but equal armour does not imply equal total durability or the same tactical role. Attack the economy when the route and escort make it worthwhile, and consult the weapon record before judging the risk of the self-defence attachment.
