The '''automated plasma turret''' is used to stop players from going out of ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] levels. It is not in [[campaign]]. The only level that has them is [[Snowbound]], although [[Sandtrap]] has a minefield that works the same way. They are of [[Covenant]] technology (although much of the Covenant's technology was stolen from the Forerunners) and surround the perimeter of the map. | The '''automated plasma turret''' is used to stop players from going out of ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] levels.

It is also still unknown why these types of turrets haven't been encountered yet. They function towards the same end as an invisible wall, to keep players within the believable confines of the map. So far, the only things that can block a turret's rounds are objects added through Forge. | It is also still unknown why these types of turrets haven't been encountered yet.

The turret's rounds fire through Bubble Shields and Deployable Covers, and will still hurt players when Invincibility is turned on or if they have overshields, a behavior similar to the [[Brute Landmine]]. In terms of story value, these turrets may have been set up by the Covenant to protect the base from intruders. They would be effective at mowing through enemy infantry, especially against the [[Flood]]. They cannot be damaged or disabled in any way. | The turret's rounds fire through Bubble Shields and Deployable Covers, and will still hurt players when Invincibility is turned on or if they have overshields, a behavior similar to the [[Brute landmine|Brute Landmine]].
