— In-game description

Turret is a signature ability for Killjoy.
Description[]
Turret is an Intel ability that Killjoy that must equip before casting. Once equipped, her crosshair will be replaced with an indicator for placing a turret. This will turn pink if it is placed on a viable position to be cast in, and will turn red for unviable positions. Upon casting, the turret will briefly deploy at the location. The turret can be recalled but will go on a short cooldown before it can be redeployed. Once deployed, the turret remains indefinitely. For it to remain active however, Killjoy must remain within a certain distance from the turret. Exceeding this distance will cause the turret to deactivate and no longer responding to any entities that enter its field of view. Reentering the proximity range will reactivate the turret. The turret will also deactivate if Killjoy is killed or suppressed.
Whilst active, the turret scans the area in front of it in a 100° cone. If it detects an enemy agent or some abilities, it will start to windup and lock onto the enemy before firing in bursts of three shots, dealing damage that falls off with distance. Damage dealt is the same regardless of where on the body the shots hit an agent.
Enemies can deal damage to the turret and destroy it, though Killjoy and her team will be alerted if the turret is destroyed.
