The Ballista Turret is a stationary turret used for firing Spear Bolts and Chain Bolas. Players must mount the turret to control and fire it.

Notes

• The weight of the materials is incredible and will quickly encumber even the largest of dinos that aren't designed to take the load, even encumbering low level brontosauruses. The Ballista Turret is much lighter once assembled.
• The Ballista Turret can no longer be used to tame the Titanosaur.

• The Ballista Turret is treated as a stone structure and can only be damaged by:
  • Metal Weapons (5%)
  • Tek Sword (~218%)
  • Explosives (150%)
  • Ballista Turret (40%)
  • Cannon (~137%)
  • Therizinosaur (Headbutt only, ~2%)
  • Arthropluera
  • Chalicotherium
  • Dunkleosteus (15%)
  • Deathworm
  • Managarmr
  • Corrupted Creatures
  • Alpha Creatures (10%)
  • Enraged Creatures
  • DodoRex (300%)
  • Dodo Wyvern (300%)
  • Bosses (10%)
  • Titans
  • Titanosaur (~462%)
  • Defense Unit (~462%)
• These can damage stone, but can not damage auto turrets:
  • Giganotosaurus (15%)
  • Tek Rifle (~50%)
  • Rock Elemental
