The Z-510 focus turret is a defensive weapon emplacement deployed at key strategic points in order to provide defensive and suppressive lines of fire.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} They are capable of being instantaneously phased to a location by [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]], then held up by an anti-gravity mooring upon deployment and controlled by a beam sustainment governor.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} Powered by a vacuum energy plate to gather power,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} the focus turret splays its upper and lower charging arms when it prepares to fire,{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} as it gathers energy into its ionization core located in its center.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Bright rings then form around its muzzle, and it fires a charged particle beam—much like the [[Sentinel beam]]{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}}—of ionized particles at its target.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} When destroyed, the focus turret disintegrate in a manner resembling that of [[Promethean Knight]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=h4|H4|gameplay}} | The Z-510 focus turret is a defensive weapon emplacement deployed at key strategic points in order to provide defensive and suppressive lines of fire.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} They are capable of being instantaneously phased to a location by [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]], then held up by an anti-gravity mooring upon deployment and controlled by a beam sustainment governor.{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} Powered by a vacuum energy plate to gather power,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} the focus turret splays its upper and lower charging arms when it prepares to fire,{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}} as it gathers energy into its ionization core located in its center.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Bright rings then form around its muzzle, and it fires a charged particle beam—much like the [[Sentinel beam]]{{Ref/Reuse|h4evg}}—of ionized particles at its target.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} When destroyed, the focus turret disintegrate in a manner resembling that of [[Promethean Knight]]s.{{Ref/Game|Id=h4|H4|gameplay}} | ||

During the [[Battle of Draetheus V]], [[Merg Vol]] was able to activate the turrets around the control room for [[X50]]'s primary weapon after having spent considerable resources to unlock its secrets. The turrets aided Vol in battle against [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] alongside [[Merg Vol's Covenant|his forces]]. However, Merg Vol was ultimately defeated and killed by Palmer.{{Ref/Level|HSA|Mission 25: Battle for the Moon}} When accessing the [[Cistern]], Palmer encountered focus turrets guarding two of the three power cores she had to destroy in order to unlock the main door.{{Ref/Level|HSA|Mission 29: Infiltration of the Cistern}} Several more protected the area of the Cistern where Spartan [[Edward Davis]]' remains were being held in a [[Durance]], particularly the power cores Palmer had to destroy in order for a Pelican to extract the Durance.{{Ref/Level|HSA|Mission 30: The Source}} | During the [[Battle of Draetheus V]], [[Merg Vol]] was able to activate the turrets around the control room for [[X50]]'s primary weapon after having spent considerable resources to unlock its secrets.
