Alien turret

s (simply called Turret ingame) are the alien equivalent of Automated Turrets, encountered on board Mothership Zeta.

About
In contrast to Automated Turrets, only ceiling-mounted versions of this turret exist. While they cannot be shut down or frenzied via a terminal, it is possible to remotely detonate them using nearby switches aboard the Mothership. They explode in a blast of green plasma, similar to a Plasma Grenade, when detonated via switch and can be frenzied if their targeting chip is shot at. They are unable to shoot directly below them.

Appearances
s appear in the Mothership Zeta Fallout 3 add-on.

Bugs

 * It's possible that the turrets get glitched and appear with an permanent 0% hit chance in VATS, making it almost impossible to frenzy or kill them fast. (Confirmed: PC)
