Light Turret is an Engineer Ability in Brink.

Overview

This lets you plant a light Turret on flat surfaces. It only scans a small area, but once it acquires a target, it will turn 360 degrees to track it. Its status is shown on the HUD at bottom left: if damage, any friendly Engineer can repair it. If you place a new Turret, the old one will disappear.

The Light Turret is a deployable item to help enforce defense in an area. As it is the lightest of the deployable turrets, it only deals damage comparable with a Submachine Gun. It is a prerequisite for more advanced turrets though.

Player Notes

Due to its low damage, this turret is best supported by its owner to maximise survivability.
Like all turrets, it benefits greatly from ambush tactics. Particularly in locations that can't be seen until enemies are busy interacting with objectives (i.e. Command Posts).
Further, it benefits greatly from collaborating Landmine placement to cover its blind spots.

+==Overview==
-The Light Turret is an[[ engineer ]]ability that deploys a turret to enforce defense of a certain area. It tracks it's targets and fires continuously until the target is down. The Light Turret deals about as much damage as an [[SMG]], and needs to be purchased before the [[Medium Turret]] can be selected. The Light Turret itself is not that effective at halting enemy advances, and is best supported by the deploying engineer.
