Automated Turrets will track and attack their targets relentlessly, but can often be reprogrammed from a nearby computer terminal.Fallout 4 loading screens

Automated turrets are robotic weapon systems encountered in the Commonwealth, the Island, and Nuka-World in 2287.

Background[]

Before the Great War automated turrets were employed by large corporations and utilized by the military to serve as supplemental, unmanned security units, capable of selecting trespassing targets and engaging them.

Over 200 years after the war, many of these turrets are still active and hostile to anyone who finds them. However, some groups, like the raiders, Gunners and super mutants have learned to control or create turrets to defend them. The Institute have even engineered their own blue variant of the laser turret, based on pre-War models.

The Sole Survivor can learn to create various automated turrets, from fully integrated machinegun turrets through to jury-rigged laser and missile turrets, to defend their settlements. Each turret requires a variety of materials and, in some instances, an external power source in order to function.

Characteristics[]

Specifications[]

Machinegun turrets can be mounted on the walls or ceiling. Some turrets may even be waterproofed, forcing them to close and become inactive when submerged in water. Each turret has three different modes that can be indicated by the color of its light. When a turret is passive, its light will be green. If a turret is searching for a target, its light will turn yellow. When a turret finds a target, its light turns red, and it becomes hostile.

A ground turret is made of a body, motors, barrel, combat inhibitor, and either a tripod or column base. Turrets under raider control may also be held in old shopping carts. They have varying types of ammunition based on the Mk version of the turret, some using 5.56mm rounds or incendiary 5.56mm rounds. Wall- or ceiling-mounted turrets use 10mm rounds.

Gameplay attributes[]

These turrets have a body, a barrel, motors, and a combat inhibitor that can be selected as targets. The combat inhibitor is on the opposite side of the barrel, making targeting it harder in combat. With the Killshot perk, the barrel will be significantly easier to target in V.A.T.S. While closed and/or submerged in water, these turrets will not take damage from anything.

Turrets will actively track targets and may become aware of an enemy from a few rooms away. Some turrets are linked to terminals and may be shut down or even made to serve the Sole Survivor if they have found the Total Hack issue with the turret override program. Not all turrets connected to terminals will be able to be affected by this program however, due to a lack of a holotape player.

Variants[]

There are three main types of turrets in the Commonwealth. There are ceiling- and wall-mounted bubble turrets that can be found in pre-War locations around the wasteland. The second type is the turrets that are floor mounted and used by different hostile groups, such as raiders, Gunners, and super mutants. The third type is a settlement turret that the player character can build to defend their various settlements across the Commonwealth.

Wall/ceiling mounted[]

As their name suggests, these turrets can be mounted on walls and ceilings. They are fitted with a dome, which contains the barrel and seals when not actively tracking targets. While inactive, they are immune to all forms of damage. A hatch on the dome will open and expose the barrel and combat inhibitor when tracking a target.

The Automatron add-on adds Tesla turrets to the game. Unlike their ballistic and laser counterparts, these turrets don't need to have a direct line of fire to harm the Sole Survivor. They will continue to fire at a point where the electricity can arc and damage the Sole Survivor should they move behind cover. The electricity arcs will only arc towards threats that the turrets have detected, even if the Sole Survivor is standing near a companion who is being targeted while in a hidden or caution state.

Laser turret[]

LaserTurret1-Fallout4

One of the most common turrets found throughout the Commonwealth, these were used in many security systems in places such as vaults, corporate buildings, and military installations. When hostile, they will attack targets with a single laser repeatedly, much like a laser rifle.

AnimatronicAlien-NukaWorld

These are animatronic dummies that are part of Nuka-World's Galactic Zone attraction but also appear in The Gauntlet and the Nuka-World junkyard, modeled to look like Zetans. They are, however, armed and programmed to attack intruders. They more closely resemble the aliens as they appeared in Fallout 3, even having the same-looking alien blaster.

Defense construct (Far Harbor)[]

DefenseConstruct-FarHarbor

The defense constructs are digital entities only encountered in the quest Best Left Forgotten while retrieving DiMA's memories. They protect indexers from sentry intrusion countermeasures. Their appearance is similar to that of wall and ceiling turrets, but they are only capable of being placed on the ground. Their exterior is animated with moving green digital print, and they fire beams of blue data at enemies.

Settlement turrets[]

These turrets can be built by the Sole Survivor to defend settlements. Each one provides an increase to a settlements' defense rating as long as they are powered and will assist when a settlement is attacked. To build these turrets, the player character needs different ranks of the Science! and Gun Nut perks. They will also require a large number of components to craft and repair them.

Spotlight turret[]

FO4 Spotlight

The spotlight turret is installed on a tripod pedestal and produces a light that locks onto enemies when they get close enough. It requires 2 Energy from a generator in order to provide 2 Defense for the settlement. They can be set to target the player character using a linked terminal.

The spotlight can be scrapped for three steel. With Scrapper level 3, the player character will also reclaim one gears and one glass.

Notes[]

  • Although turrets do not work underwater, it is possible to waterproof them, enabling them to automatically retract and shut down when submerged in water.[1] One example of this is the turrets in the Weston water treatment plant.
  • The variants may be randomly created in settlements using 8 steel, 1 circuitry, 2 gears and 2 oil. The standard Mk I, Mk III, Mk V, and Mk VII turrets do not require power from a generator to function. If destroyed in an attack, materials used to build the turrets must be expended to repair them.
  • Despite the 10mm HE labeling on the Mk III turrets, their destruction yields 5.56mm rounds.
  • Upon destruction, machinegun turrets explode violently, dealing small amounts of damage to anyone in the immediate vicinity and often knocking them down.
  • Missile turrets not only visibly deploy a quad-barreled missile launcher, but they also make full use of it by firing in salvos of three to four missiles per attack. Sometimes they shoot only a single missile, but the remaining three usually follow some moments later, delivering an overpowering barrage until they or their power source get destroyed. The sheer amount of damage missile turrets dish out is counterbalanced to some extent by their long reload time, but one salvo is often enough to annihilate the target and everything in its vicinity. One or two turrets can shoot down a Vertibird with a single, nigh-perfectly accurate volley of missiles at any difficulty, often before the flyer's passengers have a chance to disembark.
  • Turrets themselves, regardless of where they were when the bombs fell, still appear to be in fully operational condition, as mentioned by Piper while relating to her hot plate being "on the fritz."
  • The set description for Terrain Expansion: Turrets in Fallout: Wasteland Warfare states that the set includes "gas powered turrets" in addition to laser turrets. However, the item cards identify these turrets as "machine gun turrets."

Appearances[]

Automated turrets appear in Fallout 4 and Fallout: Wasteland Warfare.

Bugs[]

  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One Settlement spotlight turrets will occasionally visually stop shining light.[verified]
  • This bug can be fixed by:
    • Un-powering and re-powering the turret with a terminal.
    • Storing and rebuilding the turret.
    • Picking up the turret then pressing the cancel move key
    • Removing then re-attaching the powering wire
  • PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One The invisible "root" of the machinegun turret is separate from the visible base of the turret and can be thrown a considerable distance away from its original location if the turret is destroyed. If this happens to a hostile turret which respawns, the respawned turret will be placed wherever the root object landed, not where the turret was originally placed. This can cause turret placement to seem to be randomized during repeated visits to a location.[verified]
