Auto Defense Turret

The Auto Defense Turret is the most commonly found turret in the game, and you see it at the first level on the Space Pirate Frigate in Metroid Prime. These things aim at you then shoot multiple blasts of energy at you. You can however dodge them with ease by side stepping. However, they get stronger later on in the game, making them a tough for to go against if not aware of its presence. The best way to beat them is by shooting a missile/charge beam/Beam Combo at them. You will find these turrets at most Space Pirate bases (most notiably at the Phendrana Drifts base) and highly protected areas.
