IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator Speedrun guide: How to kill the king
Destructoid has published a speedrun guide for IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator explaining how to trigger the game's fastest, if grimmest, ending, in which the player character turns against their own monarch. The guide targets players who want to reach a conclusion quickly rather than complete the game's intended quest line, though the outlet notes this route leads to a bleak outcome and advises against it as the "proper" way to play.
To trigger the ending, players must first clear the initial mission that unlocks the "Fire and Light" mission, then load a high-explosive shell followed by a powder charge, set the bearing to precisely 327.9 degrees, and raise the gun elevation to exactly 57.12 degrees before firing. The shell strikes a civilian target revealed on the map to be the king, causing the player's Iron Nest turret to self-destruct and kill the player character, ending the game in the quickest possible way but with a downbeat result.
In short
- Guide shows fastest ending in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator.
- Involves firing on the king using precise bearing and elevation settings.
- Author warns it's a grim outcome, not the recommended playstyle.
Explained simply
IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator is a game in which players operate a large gun through a series of missions. Its intended quest line offers one route through the game, while some players look for shortcuts to reach an ending as quickly as possible.
The story centres on the player character, the king and the Iron Nest turret they operate. The fastest ending involves the character firing on the king and dying when the turret self-destructs, so it gives players a very different conclusion from completing the intended missions.
