• During Empyrean mission, the Tactical Menu allows hacking nearby turrets.

Bugs

• Deactivated corpus turrets can be destroyed before being activated, but if a turret is activated and then deactivates, it becomes invincible until it is active again
• When  Mind Controlled by  Nyx, The turret will sometimes lose its shield capabilities for no known reason.
• Orokin Sentries will sometimes leave behind destroyed Corpus turrets when they are destroyed.
• Oddly, turrets are unaffected by  Ember's  Fire Blast (The Ring of fire) even if they are both ceiling and floor mounted.
• Kuva-family of turrets is not present in codex.
