Base turrets are commonly used in the prefabricated UNSC firebases. When needed, a turret is assembled in the underground section of the firebase before being deployed into one of the four available slots. Ammunition is stored under the turret, providing a steady supply for the weapon mounted on its 360-degree traversal mount. When a base turret sustains too much damage, the structure explodes, but the turret slot remains intact, allowing the base to assemble and deploy another base turret.<ref name="cs"/> | Base turrets are commonly used in the prefabricated UNSC firebases.

Base turrets are also equipped on starships. The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} features at least 15 base turrets on its hull, though their use is limited to repelling boarders rather than naval engagement.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Cleansing]]''</ref> At least one of a weaker variant was mounted within the ''[[Pilgrims' Pride]]'', and was destroyed by Spartan-IV [[Anthony Madsen]] during the skirmish onboard.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> | Base turrets are also equipped on starships.

A '''rebel''' variant of the base turret was used by [[unidentified insurrectionist group|a group of insurrectionists]] operating on [[Harvest]] and [[Arcadia]]. These turrets operated similarly to the light UNSC model, but possess maroon-colored plates over the UNSC green and have much weaker armor.<ref name="HW">'''Halo Wars'''</ref> | A '''rebel''' variant of the base turret was used by [[unidentified insurrectionist group|a group of insurrectionists]] operating on [[Harvest]] and [[Arcadia]].
