How to Downgrade Turrets in "Harm's Way"
In "Harm's Way," racers encounter gun turrets scattered around the game's race tracks. The turrets attempt to damage and destroy the racers. By collecting different kinds of power ups, players can upgrade and downgrade the turrets. Downgrading a turret unlocks the Turret Downgrade achievement. You cannot downgrade a turret before the other team upgrades it.
Instructions
-
-
1
Start a multiplayer game. The turret upgrade and downgrade power ups do not appear in single player games.
-
2
Play the game as you normally would until the opposing team upgrades its turrets. Turrets receive upgrades when a player collects a power up that looks like a green turret. A driver collects the power up when he drives into it; a shooter collects it when he hits the power up with a turret shot.

Drive into or shoot a red turret power up to downgrade all the opposing team's turrets if you're a driver or shooter, respectively.

Tips & Warnings
Power ups always spawn on the track at the same locations; however, the game randomizes the types of power ups that spawn at them.
To prevent the other team from being able to upgrade or downgrade turrets, shooters should try to hit any turret power ups they see, even if their team does not need the power ups.
It is easy to see whether the enemy team is using an upgraded turret. The non-upgraded turret is a sniper rifle with a fairly slow rate of fire. An upgraded turret has a rapid firing machine gun, land mine thrower or missile launcher.
Downgrading the enemy team's turrets does not downgrade your team's turrets.
