![]() In Portal, Turrets will shoot the glass when the player is on the other side. Additionally, the Discouragement Beams or Emancipation Grills can be used to completely destroy them. ![]() This can be done by picking them up and dropping them, or using any object to tip them over. The most common method is knocking them over, causing them to flail and fire wildly before deactivating. Turrets can be avoided, disabled or destroyed in a number of ways. If the latter occurs, Turrets will briefly search for the test subject (as indicated by the movement of the targeting laser), after which they will revert to a standby state. They will continue to fire until the target is dead or moves out of sight. Moving into their angle of sight however, will cause Turrets to deploy their guns shortly after greeting the unlucky individual before opening fire. When test subjects are out of sight from the Turret's presence, they will maintain a standby state and will remain motionless with their guns retracted. Almost all of the space within the Turret is devoted to storing the ridiculously stacked ammo, explaining the nearly infinite supply of ammo when firing. The central part of the chassis holds their red eye, which emits a targeting laser. They are seen as incapable of independent movement, but can open each side of their chassis (their 'arms') horizontally in order to reveal two gatling guns. If getting a Portal 2 turret that can talk is really important to you, you’ll probably want to get onto the pre-order page right away.Sentry Turrets are tripod robots that appear in every game in the Portal series. The company did a similar run for its standard while turret model, which as you can see from its store page quickly sold out. A single Sunburst model will set you back $325, which may seem high for a model purposely designed to look ridiculous.Īlso, when I say this is a limited edition, I mean really limited Gaming Heads will only produce 350 copies of this particular model, at which point Aperture Science fans will be out of luck. A motion sensor has been fitted onto the turret’s eye, activating its light and a few choice quotes whenever a target approaches. The model was crafted using Portal 2‘s actual in-game assets, rendering the custom turret as an impressive 16″ figurine. ![]() I’m not sure to what extent Sunburst turrets are in demand among collectors, but they appear to be very high-quality. Still, I’d be willing to bet money that somebody watching that video thought to themselves: “Yes! I can’t wait for the statue versions so I can buy the whole set!” So far, most of Valve’s plushies and miniatures follow the standard turret design, but videogame collectibles company Gaming Heads has finally produced a version that would prompt Cave to fire his creative team: The limited edition Aperture Science Sunburst turret, complete with motion-activated lights and slightly creepy sound effects. The Portal 2 “Turrets” trailer,where Cave Johnson offers custom versions of sentient, death-dealing robots to customers, was simply a humorous joke that advertised the game. If you preferred those “custom” Portal 2 turrets from Valve’s promotional trailers, then Gaming Heads has a figurine preorder for you.
