# Turrets

There are **5 types of Turrets** in Zombie TD - each available in **5 rarities**. Higher rarity Turrets deal *more damage* and may have *enhanced abilities*. Turrets differ in **type**, **attack speed**, **damage**, and **special effects**.

⚔️ In battle, players can only use Turrets they **own as NFTs** - and which are *installed in a slot* on the official website under **My Account** (zombietd.app).

### ⚙️ Battle Mechanics & Upgrades

**Strategic turret placement** plays a key role in repelling zombie attacks - the success of your defense depends on *choosing the right positions*.

* In each battle, Turrets can be **upgraded up to Level 6** using **Iron** - a resource earned by killing zombies
* Each upgrade increases **damage** and **attack radius**, and requires more and more Iron

Each NFT Turret installed in a slot on the official website has its own **rarity** and **Level**, which increases outside of battle in two ways:

* In the **Turret Lobby**, use **gold** to purchase upgrades. You can speed up any upgrade for a ZTD fee
* Through **NFT staking** on the zombietd.app website

Raising the NFT Level increases the **base damage** of the Turret and its overall **value in the ecosystem**

### 📦 How to Obtain Turrets

Players can acquire NFT Turrets in several ways:

* 🧰 **Buy an NFT Box** during a sale - open it to receive a Turret of a selected type and random rarity
* ⛏️ **Participate in NFT Mining** - earn points and exchange them for NFT Turrets
* 🛒 **Buy on the Marketplace** using ZTD tokens
* 🏆 **Participate in competitive contests and Zealy quests** - win NFT Turrets as rewards

📌 **Important:**

* Turrets that are currently **installed in a slot cannot be sold** on the Marketplace. They must be removed from the slot first
* Turrets that are **listed for sale** on the Marketplace cannot be equipped in a slot until they are unlisted
