Turret

Turrets are automated, unmanned machine guns which are capable of sensing, and attacking targets that are hostile to the faction, or organization to which they belong, or whomever programmed them.

Background
They are employed by technologically advanced organizations, such as the Enclave, or the Brotherhood of Steel, and historic sites for security detail, such as the Museum of History, though in the latter case their former operators had been long since dead. In one case, a raider gang near the Arlington Library has reprogrammed turrets to protect their camp and chem lab.

Automated turret


Automated turrets can rest on the floor or be mounted onto the ceiling. The ceiling turrets use generally use bullet-based weaponry, whereas the ground turrets are usually equipped with lasers. Some ground mounted bullet-based turrets were built, as well as laser-based ceiling models. Both variants have unlimited ammunition.

Auto-cannon


The auto-cannon is an autonomous defense turret equipped with twin minigun cannons and relatively heavily armored. They are usually part of an automated defense system.

Gun turret


The gun turret is equipped with twin plasma cannons and is heavily armored.

Alien turret


Alien turrets (simply called "turret" in-game) are the alien equivalent of automated turrets, encountered on board Mothership Zeta. In contrast to the Captal Wasteland's automated turrets, only ceiling-mounted versions of this turret exist.

Hall monitor


The hall monitor is a unique ground type automated turret. It is a fairly weak turret that makes up an amount of the "security measures" inside the X-8 testing Institutional Test Facility during a X-8 Data Retrieval Test.

Laser turret


The laser turret is a turret with a single-barrel laser cannon which will lower down after a few seconds for cover. It cannot fire while in cover.
