Turrets are automated unmanned weapons which are capable of sensing, tracking, and attacking targets[1] without the need for an operator. Usually programmed to be operated by a nearby terminal.
Background[]
Mostly employed by militaries, other organizations with military ties had access to these devices. Since the Great War many individuals and groups across the wasteland have employed the usage of these machines. Some even active centuries after their installation, others recently constructed.
Variants[]
Alien turret[]
Alien turrets (simply called turret in-game) are the alien equivalent of automated turrets, encountered on board Mothership Zeta. In contrast to automated turrets, only ceiling-mounted versions of this turret exist.
Ceiling conventional 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. Most notable location is Vault 11's Sacrificial Chamber
