For dealing with defensive structures, you'll want specific approaches based on the threat type. Watch the high traffic spots carefully, as shotgun traps tend to lurk above doorways and tight corners. Taking a wooden spear or torch in hand works surprisingly well for damage protection, and tossing spare items to trigger shots gives you that reload window you need. If you've got explosives like grenades or satchels, those work great for removal, especially from safe angles.
When it comes to auto turrets, working around line of sight is your best friend. Move between cover points and remember, smoke grenades are perfect for crossing exposed areas. Getting authorization access is ideal but if that's not possible focus on the power supply, cutting electricity or breaking components works wonders. If you're planning to engage directly, good armor is essential and you'll want to work the corners to minimize exposure since turrets track pretty slowly.
For both types, always scout your approach paths first and keep some basic supplies ready. Most players forget but smoke is incredibly useful, and having a few explosives handy can save you in tight spots. Just remember high value zones usually have multiple layers, so take your time and plan accordingly.

farming locations are highly preferred like those safe quarries. i cant really buy or trade atm because i just started playing and still getting familiar with the game. i probably would enjoy exploring a little more instead of straight up buying
