• Turret (150 coins): Shoots baddies in general vicinity once placed. Can be picked up and moved.
• Collector (Aka Harvester) (300 coins): Sucks up coins within a large radius. Pick up the collector to receive the coins. They can also be destroyed by enemies, so protect them!
• Bomb (500 coins): Used to destroy purple gemmed walls. Shoot the bomb or have turrets shoot it to detonate it once placed.
• Cart (Aka raildroid) (50 coins): Rail carts can be bought by standing on the first section of track at your Base Camp. These will travel along rails that you lay down and will collect treasure from the Treasure Trove at the center of the map. You can also place Turrets and Collectors on the Carts.
