Skin Trivia

  • The first version of XR300 skin was made by LilDisquit.
  • Although the Level 4 upgrade icon shows an explosive warhead, the Turret cannot deal explosive damage at any level.
  • The XR500 skin is a reference to the Reason 2 Die's XR500 Xbox mount.
  • The Turret was the oldest tower to have not received a single appearance change to any of its skins in the game since it was added, a period of over 6 years from the 5th of August 2019 to the 20th of August 2025.
  • The Crossbow skin may be inspired by the X-Bow from Clash of Clans.
  • The operator of the Bunny skin has the non-binary flag on one of its sleeves starting from Level 2, which according to the operator's creator is due to the operator being non-binary.[1]
  • The default appearance of the Turret at Level 0-2 seems to resemble the removed Sentry tower.
