</>What does Ghost Battery do?
Once you start firing, the enemy starts working out where you are - and when the counter-battery timer runs down, their shells come down on your position. It's the pressure that forces you to keep packing up and moving. Ghost Battery quietly holds that timer at the top so it never expires. You keep every other part of the challenge: the ranging, the laying, the reloading. You just get to do it on your own schedule, without being shelled out of a good firing spot. Turn it off for the full white-knuckle experience whenever you want the threat back.

</>Common questions about Ghost Battery
What does Ghost Battery do in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator?
Ghost Battery keeps the enemy's counter-battery clock pinned high so their return fire never lands in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator. Once you start firing, the enemy works out where you are, and when the counter-battery timer runs down, their shells come down on your position - the pressure that normally forces you to keep packing up and moving. Ghost Battery quietly holds that timer at the top so it never expires. You keep every other part of the challenge - the ranging, the laying, the reloading - and just get to do it on your own schedule. It's available through ProjectMods, the community-first PC mod manager for 400+ games.
How does Ghost Battery stop the enemy's return fire?
In IRON NEST, firing your gun gives away your position, and a counter-battery timer counts down toward the moment enemy shells rain onto your spot. Ghost Battery works by holding that timer at the top so it never reaches zero. Because the countdown never completes, the return fire never gets the go-ahead to land, and you're free to keep firing from the same position for as long as you like. Nothing else about the fight changes - the enemy is still out there and the mission still plays normally - you've just removed the shot clock that was chasing you off good firing spots. Turn Ghost Battery off any time you want that threat back.
Does Ghost Battery make the rest of IRON NEST easier too?
Ghost Battery only removes one specific pressure - the counter-battery return fire - and leaves the rest of IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator fully intact. You still have to range each shot, lay the gun on target, manage your reloads, and actually hit what you're aiming at. What disappears is the timer that forces you to abandon a good firing position and relocate under threat. So the mod doesn't turn the game into a walkover; it turns it into a shooting gallery on your terms, where you can settle into the perfect spot and stay there. If you miss the white-knuckle tension of being shelled out of position, flip it off and the full challenge returns instantly.
What does the Enabled toggle in Ghost Battery do?
Ghost Battery runs on one control in IRON NEST - the Enabled toggle. Turn it on and the enemy's counter-battery timer is held high so their return fire never lands; turn it off and the threat comes straight back, timer and all. There are no sliders or levels to set, which makes it easy to use situationally. You might leave it off for the tense missions where dodging counter-fire is the fun, then switch it on when you just want to sit in one spot and focus on ranging. The mod also includes a Diagnose action that self-checks and confirms it's live if the return fire ever behaves unexpectedly.
Why would I use Ghost Battery in IRON NEST?
Ghost Battery is for when you want to concentrate on the gunnery itself without being chased off your position in IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator. Repositioning under counter-battery fire is a core tension of the game, but it's not always what you're in the mood for - sometimes you just want to find the ideal firing spot, dial in your range, and work targets at your own pace. With the return fire held off, you can do exactly that. It's also useful for content creators lining up a sustained sequence from one location, or for anyone learning the ropes who wants to practise ranging and laying before adding the pressure of being shelled back.
