Turrets are immobile weapons platforms that can be manned by players. They can be entered like vehicles, but are much more limited in their movement.

XMP

XMP features the following turrets, all with 600 health. Turrets aren't entered, but controlled from computer screens in its vicinity. Like vehicles, turrets are extra sensitive to EMP damage. One of the turrets can move on a rail, a feature that returns for UT3's turrets. (The turrets aren't officially named in the actual game.)

• Roundhouse Turret - Fires red plasma
• Turret Post - Fires red plasma
• Winged Turret - Fires plasma
• Garden Turret - Fires green plasma
• Turret Giant - Fires mortar shells
• Lowlands Giant Cannon - Fires electric discharge

Unreal 2 and XMP also feature deployable "Auto Turrets" and "Rocket Turrets" that function independently of the players.
