Entered a match somewhat late in the game on the Uptown map and when setting up a turret in a corner was locked in behind it instead of being bumped over the top.

I tried shooting a tow at my feet and then tried to heal the mech. Being against a wall like that disables the healing function. Was about to blast myself with tow missles when an opponent finally showed up and finished me off. Was stuck there for most of a minute.

It would have been great if there were a key binding available to destroy my own turret.

Agreed.  I had this very thing happen to me as well.  It was a different area than what you posted, but the same map.

Some helpful mech on the opposite team was nice enough to come by and help extricate my mech from the position I was in.  :P

(I don't mean to necro threads, I'm just almost always running behind.  My apologies)

would be cool if you could pick it up and move it and if you repair it also fixes your turret.

Actually, you *can* destroy your own turret by shooting it, but only in Deathmatch mode. I think it might be because in team modes, it's been made immune to friendly fire.

If the timer has run out, placing a new turret will destroy the old one.
Reason as my minor ego, and opposite my desire to be a murderer.
A coagulated, gloomy thinking in the intelligence, as my major ego.
An antinomian theorem of behaviorism, in all of my thinkings.

Yes, but that takes more time than you usually have to extricate yourself from being stuck on the turret.

Well, if console commands worked, I'd probably recommend just typing suicide in it... :P

Playing a commando in Borderlands 2 and deploying turrets in Hawken concurrently is a mindflock.

Assault - "Vae Victis" | Brawler - "Dominus" | Sharpshooter - "Memento Mori"

Bruiser - "Non Serviam" | Berserker - "Furia"

It's all good in the 'Hood.

If this was conterstrike i would tell you to:

Open your console and type: bind mouse1 kill.

Problem solved.

Click me! I dare you.

No, but I suggested this before and I think it's a great idea.  Combining items - genius!

As far as being able to destroy your own turret... just be more careful about where you place it. :P
