Then, similar to frenzied insects or robots, the turrets will fire on everything they see. Both types of turrets can be frenzied by shooting either the targeting chip (on ground units) or the lens (on ceiling units). Although not too damaging at lower levels, they can be quite deadly if they surprise you. Both variants have unlimited ammunition.Īutomated turrets are often found in military installations or areas of historical value. The ceiling turrets use 5.56mm machine guns whereas the ground turrets are equipped with lasers, although some ground mounted 5.56mm machine gun turrets were built. In one case, a raider gang near the Arlington Library has reprogrammed turrets to protect their camp and chem lab.Īutomated turrets can be mounted on the floor or the ceiling. 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.
