The Big Bertha is a manned turret found on-board the wreck of the Ice Sickle in Southern Shelf, first encountered during the Best Minion Ever mission.

Big Bertha has a 360° turning radius, but a relatively slow turning speed, and a limited vertical range. It has unique crosshairs centered halfway below their visual center. While ammo is unlimited as with all turrets, the rate of fire is very slow. Shooting at an enemy causes Explosive damage, and flings the enemy back and high up into the air; if the enemy is coming up the slope behind the gate, they may land back below the crest of the slope. Due to the slow rate of fire, slow turning speed and the flinging effect, the turret is relatively ineffective against the attacking bandits. While manning the turret, the character is virtually invincible. Upon first firing, rakk will typically attack both the turret and any bandit enemies in the area. If the character leaves the turret, bandits will attempt to man it and fire upon the character. Upon killing the bandit, the turret will be inoperable for the duration of the game, although Boom and Bewm will respawn, and Boom will still be able to fire the turret.
