| ''Shuku''-pattern turrets were once employed by the [[Covenant]] to guard important outposts. Following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] and fall of the [[Covenant]], many turrets remain active at their sectors, ready to engage trespassers that do not transmit the corresponding authorization codes, now impossible to acquire with the fall of ''[[High Charity]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | | ''Shuku''-pattern turrets were once employed by the [[Covenant]] to guard important outposts.

| ''Shuku'' turrets are extremely powerful, capable of completely bypassing [[energy shielding]] (including augments such as overshielding) to attack a target directly. This functionality means that they are generally only used at sites where other forms of protection may lack sufficient lethality.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}

| ''Shuku''-pattern turrets were deployed in a perimeter surrounding a [[Snowbound|Covenant outpost]] on [[Strilun IV]].{{Ref/Map|H3|Snowbound}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} As of [[2552]], mechanical details of the turret, such as its [[plasma]] ammunition, remain unknown to the [[United Nations Space Command]] - pending [[Treaty of 2552|treaty]] negotiations with the [[Sangheili]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} | | ''Shuku''-pattern turrets were deployed in a perimeter surrounding a [[Snowbound|Covenant outpost]] on [[Strilun IV]].{{Ref/Map|H3|Snowbound}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} |

| ==In-game information==
| |
| ===''Halo 3''===
| |
| Sentry turrets are exclusively found on the multiplayer map [[Snowbound]] in ''[[Halo 3]]''. They surround the map's perimeter facing away from the bases in the middle, serving as [[The Guardians]] for the map; if a player attempts to leave the playable area of the map, they shoot them with rapid-fire plasma shots which can kill quickly. They can shoot through [[Bubble Shield (gameplay)|Bubble Shields]], [[Overshield]]s and [[Invincibility]] equipment easily though, as with the [[Shrine defender]] towers on [[Sandtrap]]/[[Sandbox]], can be overloaded and rendered nonfunctional [[Overload glitch (Halo 3)|via a glitch]].

| ==Production notes==
| |
| In the original [[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|2009]] and [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 editions]] of the ''Halo Encyclopedia'', a text panel discussing the ''Shuku'' sentry turret can be found in the section on Covenant turrets. The text in the section discusses the ''Shuku'', referencing in-game effects from its ''[[Halo 3]]'' incarnation such as its ability to shoot through bubble shields, overshields, and invincibility power-ups; however, the image provided to represent the turret is erroneously a {{Pattern|Zo'op|Weevil}} artillery piece from ''[[Halo 2]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}
