Notes
This information was taken from data files. There are 4 parameters, and for some towers each parameter is different.
  • Minimum Radius
  • Maximum Radius
  • Aiming Radius (when the tower starts aiming)
  • Build Radius (the blue build halo)

The build halo displayed in-game is actually not accurate for some towers, but they're close enough. Here are some examples:

Max Radius
Build Radius
Sentinel
34
40
Railgun
35
35
Laser
33
40

Due to this, the graphic was adjusted to display the actual firing range and not the build radius of the tower. Counting for each tile measuring 2 meters.
