Turret (Doom: The Dark Ages)

This article is about the weapon in Doom: The Dark Ages. For the enemy from Doom Eternal, see Turret.

Firing the turret

The turret is a mounted weapon in Doom: The Dark Ages. It is equipped with two rotary machine guns that will make short work even of super-heavy demons like vagaries. It further boasts a powerful energy bolt launcher whose exploding projectiles, in addition to wiping out throngs of demons with ease, will stop a Titan in its tracks with a single shot and kill it with several successful hits. Simply firing the rotary guns gradually recharges the launcher—they need not actually deal any damage.

Turrets are found at the end of Village of Khalim, and at the start of Siege - Part 2 as part of the Doom Slayer's mission objectives. They essentially form their own, discrete combat set pieces; it is not possible to use a turret again once the combat encounter in question is over, nor can the Slayer tear it from its mountings and wield it independently. A turret is also found in Abyssal Forest, but it can only be used to fire the launcher to clear debris blocking the Slayer's path.
