Have you ever still felt insecure even when all survivor bots are standing close to you? Have you ever thought about a dependable bodyguard that can protect you even better than original bot? Well, this sentry turret custom weapon may be the answer you've been looking for.
.
This sentry turret custom weapon is the modified version of the existing one on the linked content below. I helped the author promote this one by making it available even in custom campaigns, by replacing the baseball bat. There are several differences compared to the original old version:
1. This turret enemy scan is 360 degrees horizontally & vertically, so even zombies on the roof can get shot (the original only scans 360 degrees horizontally so a smoker & any zombie on the roof can miss from scanning).
2. This has unlimited ammo stock (the original needs ammo refill, & the remaining ammo is shown on the gauge).
3. This turret shoots laser with burning effect (the original has normal bullets).
4. Farther shooting range.
5. This can be deployed on any kinds of grounds (the original can only be deployed on flat grounds).
6. The turret gun is floating to maximize the 360 degrees of horizontal & vertical scans (the original merges the turret with the tripod).
.
This turret is equal to bots in expert difficulty, as it has perfect aim. However, it's ineffective to zombies with large hp like charger & tank as it has damage equal to submachine gun. The good point is, it helps burn the zombies so you don't need to carry molotov if you have this. & beware of the burning witch.

There are 4 files in the zip archive:
1. "sentry floating turret (modified).vpk" = this is the main turret mod.
2. "custom weapon base (for custom campaigns).vpk" = this one is required to enable the turret. You need to enable this in addon menu to make the turret work.
3. "custom weapon mutation.vpk" = this one is an alternative for "custom weapon base". The "custom weapon mutation.vpk" works as a mutation to enable the custom weapons. To play the mutation, type: map mapname cweapon
4. "custom weapon base 2.vpk" = this one is an alternative if you don't want to use no. 2 & 3. No conflict with "scriptedmode".

Credits:
- "Rec tus" as the author of this great mod (somehow the name is censored when merged without space).
.
Notes:
- This mod works in custom campaigns, as it replaces baseball bat.
- This mod works on any modes including Singleplayer & mutation, as long as the modes allow the mod.
- The "custom weapon base" is based on "scripted mode", so it will conflict with other mods with "scripted mode". As an alternative, you can use no. 3 or 4 to avoid conflict.
- This mod works on both old & Last Stand versions.
- You need to host a server with both "custom weapon base" & sentry turret mods enabled to make them work.
- (03/19/21) Added a vpk "custom weapon mutation.vpk" as an alternative of "custom weapon base" vpk.
- (03/21/21) Added a vpk "custom weapon base 2.vpk". See the Changelog for details.
