Turret



Turrets are unmanned weapons fixed on ceilings and floors 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
The only type of turret in Deus Ex. They can be either on the 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 alarm sounder panel, otherwise they do not fire in the player's view and remain neutral.

Minigun turret
A new model of minigun turret appears in Invisible War. It is 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 is best to take pot-shots at them from cover with the EMP Converter weapon mod or to disable them. These are usually mounted to ceilings.

Locations

 * Cairo Arcology Level 107, on the ceiling near the door of the main room.
 * Cairo Arcology Level 110 Bay 24, on the ceiling in the 2nd floor.

Flame turret
Less common than the minigun turret, they are more deadly if the player happens to be unlucky enough to get caught by one. The flame turret has a range disadvantage, letting the player take it on any way he/she wants to except melee. They are always mounted to the ground.

Rocket turret
The least common turret and the most powerful. The rocket turret has an extremely long range - and will fire at the player from far away. A single rocket can kill the player, so he/she has to be careful around these. They are always mounted to the ground.

Minigun turret
These turrets are always found on the ground and have 2 miniguns attached to the top. They have a red or blue ring at their base which shows whether the turret is alerted or not. These are not secured to the ground, so Adam Jensen may pick them up and use them as personal weapons.

A more rare variant is the ceiling turret. Those are fixed to the ceiling and cannot be moved. They can only be turned off or reprogrammed to attack enemies.
