* ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon''
** Zig-zagged with the ATC's automated defense ceiling turrets. They're very tough, have a slim profile when faced directly that makes them harder to hit, and they deal phenomenal damage. They'll even keep shooting at your last known position if you duck behind a solid surface out of sight. But if you can get to the breaker box that supplies a turret with power, it's trivial to disable it.
** Downplayed with the AP-5 deployable turret in the ''Extraction Point'' and ''Perseus Mandate'' expansions. They can take a few bullets but not prolonged concentrated fire, and their mini-cannons only deal modest damage. Their main draw is being able to be carried and deployed at will.

* Turrets have become decreasing threats in each successive ''VideoGame/MechWarrior'' iteration. In 2, where they first appeared, they were small but surprisingly hard to target, and could hit you with anything from massed laser batteries to PPC shots, and each part needed to be destroyed independently. In 3, they were still small, annoying targets with surprisingly good firepower. In 4, their firepower increased (due to the presence of missile launchers) but they became much larger and easier to destroy. By the time of 5, they are barely a threat and can be destroyed by few machine gun bullets or simply stepping on the offending turret.

** By equipping the Gunslinger, a robotic arm that replaces the Engineer's Wrench, he can build mini-sentries. Compared to a level 1 sentry, they are weaker in terms of health and damage output and can't be upgraded; they also do not drop any metal when destroyed. However, mini-sentries cost less metal to build, take less time to build, and even acquire targets much faster, which means that enemies generally won't be able to destroy them without taking at least SOME damage.

* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'': Turrets generally have about half as much health as Listening Posts, and are either good against infantry or vehicles. They aren't exactly weak, but by the end game squads of infantry are usually numerous enough to survive taking them out.

* ''VideoGame/BattleTech'': Turrets show up regularly. Often they're hooked up to an external power source that can be attacked to disable multiple turrets at once, but even if they're not it's usually pretty easy to take a turret down- because they're stationary they always go last in combat and are easy to hit even at long range. What makes them dangerous is that they typically mount weaponry with better range than your ability to see them, so if you're fighting some mechs the turrets can often freely snipe you without letting you return fire.
