Turret



Turrets are unmanned weapons fixed on ceilings or on the grounds and which are capable of sensing and attacking targets that are hostile to the organization to which they belong. They are often coordinated with a security camera and three types exist.

The minigun turret appears in Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Invisible War and Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The flame turret and the rocket turret appear only in Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Minigun turret type 1
The only type of turret in Deus Ex, this is always accompanied by a security camera. They can be either on ceiling or on the ground and are almost invulnerable to all damage except explosive or IEM. They are always coordinated with a security camera or all alarm sounder panel, otherwise they don't fire in your view and remain neutral.

Minigun turret type 2
A new model of minigun turret appear. It the most common type of stationary defense in the game and is almost always accompanied by a security camera. They are easy to avoid, being stationary and blatantly obvious, but are extremely damaging. Taking one on head to head with a small arm is suicidal. It's best to take pot-shots at them from cover or to disable them. These are always mounted to ceilings.

Flame turret
Less common than the minigun turret, they are more deadly if you happen to be unlucky enough to get caught by one. The flame turret have a range disadvantage, letting you take them on any way you wish except melee. They are always mounted to the ground.

Rocket turret
The most uncommon turret and the most powerful. The rocket turret have an extremely long range - and will fire at you from far away. A single rocket can kill you, so be careful around these. They are always mounted to the ground.
