* ''Guild Wars 2'' will have the Engineer profession, known to be adepts at placing turrets around the battlefield, compared to the spirits of the original ''Guild Wars''.

* The titular character from Lock's Quest often uses turrets as his main form of offense, it being an action/tower defense hybrid. He also has traps, walls, and minions at his disposal, making him a TrapMaster and a MinionMaster... but not a Wallmaster. [[TheLegendOfZelda That's something else entirely.]]

* TheEngineer of ''TeamFortress2'' - known enough to be page's image. The basic sentry (pictured) takes a while to be erected, but can be upgraded to be a rocket-shooting, dual-minigun-equipped monstrosity (pictured), capable of denying access to the covered area for almost any enemy. He also has a different kind of a turret - a mini-sentry, [[WeakTurretGun weaker]] but cheaper and capable of being quickly deployed in just about any place to [[GoddamnedBats persistently bug enemies]], as it's likely that another will be quickly re-established somewhere else. Only one can be built at any time, though.

* The Robotics class in ''GlobalAgenda'' has a variety of turrets among his repertoire, but can also be a MinionMaster via the use of the robotic drones that give the class its name. It's a matter of the player's preference as to which one they prefer, if it isn't both.

* '''[[BioShock Bioshock 2]]''' has a new breed of Big Daddies called "Rumblers", which have shoulder-mounted [=RPGs=] for crowd control, as well as portable miniature-turrets for scattered enemies. While the player character can also deploy any mini-turrets he comes across, he can only hold as many as four on him. The Rumbler, however, can throw as many as he'd like while within combat.

* TheEngineer of ''TeamFortress2'': You can theoretically play without them, but playing an engineer that way is an exercise in futility.

** The '''Security Command''' plasmid can turn the player into a temporary Turret Master, directing both stationary and mini-turrets towards whatever he wished. Thrown at a Rumbler, it will make his own turrets [[HoistByHisOwnPetard fire on himself as soon as they land]]

* The upcoming ''{{Brink}}'' has an engineer class who can do this.

** Well not ''entirely'' true, an Engineer can make a great contribution to the team with his [[TransportersAndTeleporters teleporters]] and Dispensers alone. But yeah, the turret is your main means of defense and offense.

** ''Borderlands'' also has the Crimson Engineer and Combat Medic enemies (which drop turrets and healing tower...things, respectively), as well as the badass versions of the shock/pyro/chemical troopers (which drop elementally specific turrets).
