Turret (Fallout 76)

Turrets are a type of robot encountered in Appalachia in Fallout 76.

Specifications
Machine gun and LASER turrets can be mounted on the walls or ceiling and are fitted with a dome to contain the parts and seal them when the turrets is not actively tracking targets. Each turret has three different modes that can be indicated by the color of its light. When a turret is passive its light will be green. If a turret is searching for a target, its light will turn yellow. When a turret finds a target, its light turns red and it becomes hostile.

A ground turret is made of a body, motors, barrel, combat inhibitor and either a tripod or column base. Turrets may also be held in old shopping carts, as in Ammo dump.

Gameplay attributes
These turrets have a body, barrel, and motors. Turrets will actively track targets and may become aware of an enemy from a few rooms away. Some turrets are linked to terminals and may be shut down. Not all turrets connected to terminals will be able to be affected, however.

Variants
There are 3 main types of turrets in Appalachia. There are the ceiling and wall mounted bubble turrets that can be found in pre-War locations around the wasteland. The second type are the turrets that are floor mounted and were/are used by different hostile groups such as raiders and super mutants. The third type are settlement turrets that the player character can build to defend their C.A.M.P..

Wall/ceiling mounted
These turrets can be mounted on walls and ceilings. They are fitted with a dome, which contains the barrel and seals them when they are not actively tracking targets. While inactive they are immune to all forms of damage. A hatch on the dome will open and expose the barrel and combat inhibitor when tracking a target.
