| ==Types of turret==
| | '''Forerunner turrets''' are a [[Forerunner]] defensive mechanism. They were deployed around the wreckage of [[High Charity]] on [[Installation 00]] in [[2559]] to defend the quarantine zone against attackers, and prevent the [[Flood]] from escaping. The turrets were also employed to defend the [[Sentinel launcher]]s near the site, but were ultimately unsuccessful at keeping [[Banished]] forces away from High Charity. |
| ===Fort variant===
| |
| These turrets are generally found attached to [[Forerunner fort]]s on the [[shield world]] [[Trove]]. They are mounted on large towers and operate as part of the forts' defensive measures.{{Ref/Game|HW2|[[Forerunner fort]] in-game structure}}

| ===Anti-air turret=== | | ==Operation== |
| The anti-air turret is present on [[Installation 00]]. During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], one such weapon was used to shoot down a [[Covenant]] [[freighter]].{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Ashes}}{{Ref/Map|HW2|Ashes}}
| | The turrets fire a blue continuous beam, similar to the [[Sentinel beam]] utilised by gold [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. |

| ===Ark variant===
| |
| Resembling the anti-air turret but on a smaller scale, these Forerunner turrets were were deployed around the wreckage of ''[[High Charity]]'' on [[Installation 00]] in [[2559]] to defend the [[quarantine zone]] against attackers, and prevent the [[Flood]] from escaping. The turrets were also employed to defend the [[Sentinel launcher]]s near the site, but were ultimately unsuccessful at keeping [[Banished]] forces away from ''High Charity''.{{Ref/Level|Id=hw2|HW2|What Could Go Wrong?}} The turrets fire a blue continuous beam, similar to the [[Sentinel beam]] utilised by [[Aggressor Sentinel Eliminator]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|hw2}}
