Does what it says on the tin, spotlight extends to the turret's maximum range at which it will fire at you, so if you turn red, it can shoot you.
Due to how light works, it reflects off particles in the air like smoke/dust/fog, it may not look good under certain conditions or be an active hindrance in foggy/smoky/dusty environments.
Set "Volumetric Fog" in your graphical settings to "low" to disable volumetric lighting
-Also applies to Annihilator tanks due to them having the same turret as the cannon tower turret.
-Also applies to shredder tanks due to them having the same turret as AA guns
This visual mod adds powerful spotlights to Automaton Cannon, Bunker, and AA turrets, showing where they aim and adding cinematic flair. Spotlights also appear on Annihilator and Shredder tanks since they share turret models. A simple, popular cosmetic enhancement for Helldivers 2.
