The Aperture Science Sentry Turret is a fully autonomous weapon created by Aperture Science featured in Portal. Sentry Turrets are used within Aperture Laboratories in a manner similar to the Combine Sentry Turret seen in Half-Life 2.

[edit] Overview
The Aperture Science Sentry Turret has a single red eye, sleek appearance and predominately white color scheme common to most Aperture Science technology. Sentry Turrets have only ever been seen in the Aperture Science Enrichment Center acting as guards in Test Chambers and maintenance areas. Sentry Turrets often speak in a child-like, artificial voice similar to GLaDOS and toilets within Aperture Laboratories. Sentry Turrets have a wide variety of vocalizations that they use to communicate with.
[edit] Tactics
Turrets, when idle, conceal their weapons under the two plates on either side of their body. When a turret spots a target it takes a moment to deploy its weapons to fire. Turret's weapons are very powerful, able to kill Chell after only a short period of continuous fire.
However, turrets can be easily spotted by the visible laser beam emitted from their eye at all times, making it easier to avoid them. When knocked over Sentry Turrets fire frantically in all directions before permanently deactivating. Like all other objects within Aperture Laboratories the Turret will disintegrate if it passes through an Emancipation Grid.

 Knocking over a turret with another turret will earn the player the Friendly Fire achievement. |
