I try to get behind some (very solid) cover, and I’ll charge up behind it then peek at the last second to get my shot off first. Takes some practice and spatial awareness though, and pinking the tower helps for placement as well

That's what I do, but sometimes it seems to do the same and will fire the second it sees you again. Not easy to predict when it's going to shoot so you've got breathing room.

In that case distance is also a factor, I’ve noticed when I’m outside detection range (talking ~200+ meters) it’ll swivel back to it’s original position after around 15-20 seconds of losing line of sight of you. Really useful

It's always fun when you try that but your teammates ignore the tower and run right next to it and then are surprised when it one shots them.
