Turrets are stationary weapons found inside facilities. Turrets will continuously scan their surroundings looking for players, and if they find one, they will open fire. Getting shot by a turret usually means instant death, so they’re just as dangerous as the monsters. Unfortunately, turrets don’t target monsters, so you can’t use them as a means to take out that stalking Bracken.
While easily visible near light sources, turrets are especially dangerous when they spawn in dark areas, as you may not see them before it’s too late. When a turret spots a player, it’ll make a distinct sound and activate an orange laser beam, so try to be on the lookout for that.
Luckily, it’s possible to disable turrets in Lethal Company, but it requires one player to stay behind on the spaceship and operate the monitoring screen (the machine shown in the picture). If another player comes close to a turret, the one on the spaceship can open the terminal, type “view monitor”, enter the code displayed next to the turret on the screen, and press enter to temporarily deactivate that turret.
Beware that the turret is only disabled for a short amount of time, so if the players inside the facility want to head back, the one on the ship needs to disable the turret again.
Sadly, you can’t destroy turrets in Lethal Company. If you try to smash them with a shovel or a stop sign, they’ll enter rage mode and blindly fire in a circle around them instead of taking damage. Since destroying turrets isn’t an option and you may not have a teammate to disable them, you can instead learn how to avoid turrets. Here are three ways to pass a Lethal Company turret safely:
Beware that you can’t avoid Lethal Company turrets by hiding behind grate floors and staircases! The only thing that can stop a turret’s bullets are solid walls, floors, and doors. Good luck!
