Hello P.A.N.T.S.U. members!
We have some valuable intel about some major design changes that are incoming via Content Update #3! Feast your eyes!
We’ve seen people chew through the content and absolutely destroy Endless Mode. Well, HQ is telling us that these new design changes will really test your mettle as bonafide Turret Pilots. Here’s the nitty gritty:
The moon rises over the newest and hardest stage: Midnight Siege!
Aliens rage in the night in numbers never seen before and have spawned new monstrosities to strike fear into the hearts of our heroines!
This stage features a new enemy type: the shield elite!
Shield elites do not attack the player but will quickly throw up a shield in front of them to guard their allies
Their shields are tough but can be broken with enough firepower
Alternately, you can kill them with a direct hit if you have the right angle!
Stage 4 also features a brand new boss!
This one is a little different from what you have faced before so stay on your toes!
In addition to the new stage, we have a brand new difficulty system called “Crisis Levels”
With this system now every normal and endless stage will have 4 new difficulty levels!
Across both normal and endless, that comes out to 32 new challenges to overcome!
Each new Crisis Level brings tougher enemy spawns and will present players with unique difficulty modifiers that switch up how the stage should be played
Sometimes your reload speed will be debuffed, sometimes enemies will move faster, as levels go up the modifiers get harder and harder!
But with more risk comes more reward. Challenging these crisis levels will earn you more unique currency per run and give you bundles of currency as a reward for your first time clearing them!
In order to unlock higher and higher crisis levels, you need to beat a certain number of stages on the current highest Crisis Level
You can check the conditions and progress by hovering over the skull icon on the progression gauge.
Can you unlock and clear all the Crisis Levels? Good luck!
To help players tackle the new Crisis Levels the game has to offer, we have also added 10 new Legendary versions of pre-existing weapons
These powerful weapons have a very low drop rate compared to other other versions but offer a twist to their normal behavior that make them uniquely powerful
Here are a couple examples:
This machinegun trades accuracy for an insanely high firerate and amount of projectiles
Though at first it might seem hard to use, upgrading it and using ADS to narrow its firing spread make it incredibly powerful
This is a powerful laser cannon that fires 3 lasers in a spread pattern
It may seem difficult to utilize the side lasers but with a little practice it becomes a formidable tool at wiping out ground units
We hope you enjoy finding the rest of the weapons during your runs and trying them out for yourself!
With the introduction of new difficulty levels and new weapons, we have made some changes to the spawn rates of weapons and passive upgrade parts in the shop
Weapons now have the following general drop rates:
Normal weapons: High
Advanced weapons: Medium
Legendary weapons: Rare
Now even if you have all your weapon or upgrade slots filled there is still a chance new upgrades will appear in the shop allowing you to change your build mid-run
You can sell your current items to make space for new ones if you see something you want
However, in general, upgrades for currently held items are more likely to appear
We understand that these updates change the way the game has been played up until now. We plan to listen carefully to player feedback regarding these changes and make tweaks as we move forward.
We have added a new tab to the item shop where you can buy new items that can be used in Photo Mode!
The new items include a couple new poses for Girl and Raven, as well as various new animated backgrounds!
The shop can now be leveled up to Level 5!
This means clothing items for both Girl and Raven can also all be leveled up to Level 5, further increasing their power
We have four new songs!
Two songs for Stage 4 (battle and boss themes)
Photo Mode music
Item Shop music
We hope you enjoy these awesome new tunes as you play the new content!
To roll out the new Crisis Level feature and Raven, we have added 10 new Achievements for everyone to unlock
Some of these require true skill to unlock, so we hope you enjoy the new achievement hunting as you try out the new features!
Finally, we have a small but hopefully welcome feature for those who want to speed things up a little
From the pause menu in game, you can now increase the game speed.
You can choose from the following speeds: 1.0x (normal), 1.5x, 2x and 3x speed
Phew… That’s a lot!
We look forward to seeing more photos in the Photo Mode Channel! Also, don't forget to join the official Discord or help us by purchasing official TurretGirls merchandise from Popiko at: https://popiko.com/en-jp/collections/turret-girls
See you on the battlefield! ❤️
Raven Update #3 - Patch Notes
Attention P.A.N.T.S.U. recruits!
Tiiiiny set of patch notes incoming!
Attention P.A.N.T.S.U. recruits! Patch Notes Incoming!
Shop Prices: Reduced all prices of all shop items for an improved gameplay experience.
Shop Level Up Logic: Modified level up logic for the shop from more complicated conditions to a more simple “make X amount of purchases (of any item)” format.
We hope these changes give players a more clear and pleasurable gameplay experience for purchasing better gear and leveling up the shop.
Resolved an issue where generators could not be placed via Present Cards after pressing the ESC key.
Fixed a crash that occurred when entering Photo Mode after unlocking and equipping socks on a Girl.
Fixed a visual glitch where the edges of Raven’s mouth appeared black on the Battle Result screen.
Current “P.A.N.T.S.U Founders” from discord have been added to the credits!
Thank you for your support!
P.A.N.T.S.U. recruits!
Meet Raven! The newest (and now sassiest) member of P.A.N.T.S.U.!
Raven is a fast and furious character with a lot of personality!
She also has a couple key mechanical differences from Girl
High Speed: Raven’s base speed is much higher than girls and can dash faster with a much lower cooldown between dashes
Crossbow: Raven has a high powered crossbow that can annihilate elite aliens with ease
Lower HP: Be careful though Raven's speed comes at the cost of HP. Compared to Girl she goes down faster!
4 equip-able weapons: Raven’s crossbow is extremely powerful but she can only equip 4 weapons at most so choose carefully!
Raven’s crossbow is the core of her power
Hold the special input to start charging her crossbow
The higher the charge the higher the power of the shot
Release the input and let your shot loose for big damage!
Raven can upgrade the stats of her crossbow like max charge, charge speed and base power!
In addition to being able to upgrade Raven’s crossbow stats with clothing items there are various in-run upgrades only Raven can use.
Defense upgrade: Gives Raven a much needed defense boost.
Crossbow overcharge and Charge Speed: Increases your max charge level and the speed you charge!
“Chrono Bomb”: Makes the raven projectile explode on impact, greatly slowing all enemies in its blast radius.
Raven has a whole new vibe and set of 81 new clothing and accessories to unlock and equip!
We hope you enjoy discovering and using all of the new customization items for her as we put our heart into making them extra special!
Naturally Raven is now also selectable in Photo Mode so you can view her in all her sassy glory up close!
Additionally we added a bunch of new wall papers to keep photo mode fresh! Many of them are animated!
In addition to Raven we have added a brand new meta progression feature, the shop!
After completing one stage (win or lose) you will gain access to the shop from the main menu
From here you can buy new upgrades that appear in runs and power up your clothing and accessories!
Purchases at the Shop will cost you some of the 4 new currencies we have implemented
Check the stage select to see which tokens you can gain by playing a given stage
The shop itself can level up!
Buying a certain amount of items and clothing upgrades will level up your shop
When the shop is upgraded new items will be added for purchase in the supply tab (on the far left)
If you keep upgrading your shop you can unlock brand new upgrades that will appear during runs
Here are a couple examples of cards we added
Generator overclock: Charges Girl’s melee attack allowing it to power up generators and cause them to discharge lighting to enemies!
Juggernaut: Lose a ton of mobility for greatly increased attack power
There are many more we added but we hope you enjoy unlocking and experimenting with these new upgrades!
The shop will receive more updates and balancing in the future so please let us know your thoughts!
We understand that the cost of rerolling and locking items is a pain point for a lot of players so we made the following changes
Rerolling cost now ramps up quicker but resets to 50 each day giving players more ability to reroll over the course of a run
Locking items now costs a flat 100 and that price never goes up
We a lot of users confused by how visual only loadouts worked so we made the following changes
Now anytime you equip an item it will automatically change the visual loadout as well
After the item is equipped you can can the visual loadout by clicking the right side of an item.
Some visual and gameplay altering mods will not work with this new update. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes the modding community.
As always, we love hearing from our community, so join us on Discord, X, Bluesky, or Instagram to let us know which girl is your type!
Hello P.A.N.T.S.U. recruits!
We have some very special announcements today, so listen up!
Photo Mode is here!
The time has finally come! Photo Mode is now available via a Free Update! Here is a breakdown of everything we’re adding in Phase One.
By popular demand we’ve added a brand-new Photo Mode that gives you total creative control over taking shots of your favorite girl!
TurretGirls - Photo Mode Trailer (Adult Content - Viewer Discretion Advised)
In this mode you can fully customize Girl and the scene with tons of settings!
Choose from a variety of poses, backgrounds, screen effects and of course clothing...or lack of clothing.
You can even fully customize Girl’s facial expressions!
Pro-Tip: Don’t forget to interact with Girl while setting up your shots. You might get some great shots in the process!
This is just the first update to Photo Mode, and there is much more to come. Please try it out and let us know what you think—we are listening!
Tired of choosing between looking cool and staying alive? You no longer have to sacrifice fashion for performance!
You can now set clothing and accessories to appear visually on your character without affecting their stats.
How it works: Just set your visual loadout by clicking the right side of an equipable item to set it visually. Your stats will stay the same, but your look is all yours.
We’ve added two highly requested features to the shop to help runs go more in your favor:
Locking Items: See a weapon you want but can’t afford yet? For a small price, you can now Lock items in the shop. This prevents them from disappearing between days or rerolls.
Selling Items: You can now sell weapons or upgrades you already have equipped. Just click the new "Sell" button on the shop screen and select what you would like to sell.
Finally, we’ve added more information to your stats! You can now see more clear "Before and After" information in the stat screens.
Whether you are equipping clothing and accessories or upgrading things in the shop, you’ll see exactly how your numbers will change.
Thank you all for the continued support and feedback. Now jump in and show us your best shots from the new Photo Mode!
In case you aren’t already a member of the official TurretGirls Discord or follow any of our main SNS channels, we’ve been running weekly previews of photos taken in the new photo mode. We really can’t wait to see what sort of creative photos you’ll be able to take when it’s released. So come on over to the Discord (https://discord.gg/vZ3rBujCeD) and show us what you’ve got!
Girl needs all the support she can get to fend off those never-ending waves of grotty aliens. And you can give it to her through a vast arsenal of never-ending… HUGS! If you are a fan and want to show your fandom and sleep well here’s your chance. Grab a brand-new TurretGirls Hug Pillow from the pop-up store link below:

LOCK. LOAD. POSE!
