The Automated Turret (also known as the Auto-Turret) is a form of equipment similar to an immobile Sentinel that acts as an automatic defense system (deployable antipersonnel turret) for the player and first featured in Halo 3. It is so far only encountered on the Halo 3 levels The Ark, The Covenant and Halo. It is not found on any multiplayer maps. The auto-turret is dropped in an area where you want to defend. Once deployed, it will automatically shoot at the enemy.
