Turret (Mass Effect)

A Turret is a defense installation positioned near a main structure or a key defense point. Turrets are in use by pirate bands, mercenary groups, terrorist groups, and professional military forces around the galaxy. In Mass Effect, Turrets are a particular type of stationary defense installation that can be found guarding bases on planets like Binthu.

Tactics

 * Because Turrets are stationary installations, they are easy to defeat. However their attacks are quite powerful and can destroy a vehicle, or kill any infantry in one hit. The rockets they fire are quite easy to dodge however and even avoiding them on foot is quite easy. There is splash damage that comes with each rocket hit and it is in a significant radius, so avoiding the splash damage is the key to survival for anyone on foot.
 * One way you can survive a hit is if you using armour that gives a large amount of Damage Protection, with or without Physics Threshold upgrades. On harder difficulties, using Immunity, if it is available is recommended.
