Defensive buildings are there to protect your island base from being destroyed by invading enemies. You can build structures such as the Sniper Tower and Mine, both intended to bar any easy routes into the heart of your base. The key to using these buildings to their best is placement - trying to funnel your enemies into areas of your base that you want them to be. Below, you will find a list of all the defensive buildings in Boom Beach. Alongside, there is information on their vital statistics, upgrades and function.
Sniper Tower
Function: The Sniper Tower has impressive range and is strong against riflemen and small groups of enemies. It is weak against larger groups, as it causes no splash damage and can only attack one unit at a time.

Machine Gun
Function: The Machine Gun fires lots of bullets in a relatively inaccurate manner, but incredibly quickly. This makes it ideal for targeting large groups of enemies as it will spray its fire all around the group, damaging everyone.

Mortar
Function: The Mortar's speciality is splash damage. This means that any units in the area that is hit by the single-shells that the Mortar fires will receive damage, rather than just the unit directly under it. It is slow to fire but very useful against large groups of infantry who are intent on attacking structures and not moving.
