As its name implies, it acts as an automatic defense system (deployable antipersonnel turret) for the player and is featured in ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is so far only encountered on the ''Halo 3'' levels [[The Ark (Level)|The Ark]], [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]] and [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]], and is not found on any [[multiplayer]] maps due to the issue of keeping the game balanced. The auto-turret is best dropped in an area where you want to defend; once deployed, it will automatically shoot at the enemy if they are within the turret's sight. | As its name implies, it acts as an automatic defense system (deployable antipersonnel turret) for the player and is featured in ''[[Halo 3]]''.

*When the Auto-Turret is your enemy, its [[AI]] is greatly increased.

However, on the same level, when you get to the Separatist Phantom that arrives to pick up the Arbiter, if you destroy the Phantom (thus preventing Guilty Spark from departing) and deploy an Auto-Turret, it will fire at Guilty Spark for unknown reasons although this is probably a glitch. If you kill all of the Marines and allow the Flood to live, the Flood will attack Guilty Spark. | However, on the same level, when you get to the Separatist Phantom that arrives to pick up the Arbiter, if you destroy the Phantom (thus preventing Guilty Spark from departing) and deploy an Auto-Turret, it will fire at Guilty Spark for unknown reasons although this is probably a glitch.
