Auto-turret, close-up
The 12mm[1] auto-turret is a terran automated defensive structure produced by the raven.
Overview[]
This simple robot gun emplacement is suitable for driving off smaller hostile life forms for an extended period of time.[2]
Designs for auto-defense cannon turrets were available as far back as 2499.[3] They can currently be dropped by ravens.[1]
Gameplay[]
StarCraft II[]
The Raven deploys an auto-turret. The turret has building-type armor and a high rate of fire.[4]
| Usage | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Versus[]
As of Legacy of the Void, auto turrets were made into quick harassment tools, shortening their life but giving them much higher damage per second.
Wings of Liberty[]
Permanent auto-turrets can be viewed in the single-player campaign defending Agrian settlements, Orlan's Mercenaries at Dead Man's Rock and Dominion bases on Korhal. These auto-turrets do not have a timed life.[5][6][7]
Nova Covert Ops[]
Auto-turrets appear in Nova Covert Ops with their pre-LotV statline. These auto-turrets possess a unique skin and portrait.[8] It is replaced with railgun turrets upon selecting the Magrail Munitions upgrade for the raven.
Co-op Missions[]
A constructable, permanent version of auto-turrets serve as the static defense option for Tychus Findlay in Co-op Missions.[9]
Development[]
The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II which is no longer valid.
Early render of the auto-turret
During early development the turret lasted until destroyed;[10] it did not have a timed life.[11] As of Patch 5.0.11, auto-turrets are no longer affected by Neosteel Armor.

Increases the damage of auto-turrets and seeker missiles by 30%.
Removed in Patch 3.8.

Heroes of the Storm[]
In an older version of the game, auto-turrets could be purchased by heroes in Heroes of the Storm. They cost 350 gold pieces.[12]

- ↑ The Targeting Drone is similar to the Auto Turret in the fact that it does not have a timed life. It currently costs 50 energy to deploy and has 120 hitpoints (all subject to balance of course). The Targeting Drone can target one unit at a time, and increases the damage that unit takes by 50%. You cannot have two drones targeting the same target. These drones are also flying, stealthed, and immobile. They may excellent perimeter defenses and can be coupled with Auto Turret raids to maximize the damage. Karune. 2008-10-16.
