"This weapon is actually a locator beacon. When you place it, a Sentry Turret is beamed onto that spot after a two second delay. Make sure you are well-clear of the area before that happens, so you don't get crushed! The beacon must be placed on a flat surface, with enough space around it to hold the turret. The turret will blaze away at whatever comes within range. You can reload an empty turret manually (using the normal reloads for an energy weapons and the rocket launcher) by touching the turret. The turret will operate for whomever reloads it. Protect this powerful weapon – you don't want to be staring down the barrel of your own arsenal!"
– UT: GOTY manual
"Step 1: Find turret launcher. Step 2: Fire launcher to place this beacon. Step 3: Turret is beamed in. These are not the vicious little turrets you may remember from Q2Chaos. These are the big brothers of those turrets. In fact, these are so big they have to be beamed in when needed."

The Sentry Turret is a weapon which comes with Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition as part of the mod Chaos UT.
Overview[]
"The following excerpts are from the users manual which explains the basic concept:
"Chaos Inc. Military Equipment, Advanced versions, Defense Turret Gamma2.21 'Chickengobbler?, User Manual. Page 3:
(Step 1: Find Turret Launcher)
(A)- due to transportation problems the soldiers will only be equipped with a one-time-useable coordinate-submitter, aka 'beam-beacon'.
(Step 2 : Fire Turret Launcher)
(B)- The beacon has to be placed manually, and will not work anywhere but flat enclosed areas (this is because military insurance won't pay for any more dumb soldiers who get crushed by their own turrets due to ill-conceived placement, e.g. on weak overhangs)
(C)- The beacon has to be placed in 'suitable space' (according to guiding principle Din4.11c) which means around the beacons location should be at least 6 feet of space to each side and 12 feet towards the ceiling!
(Step 3 : Turret is beamed in!)
(D)- Once the beacon is placed, the turret will be beamed in within the next FOUR seconds, by your support team from outside the battlefield. Please keep a secure distance!
(E)- If the surrounding space shouldn't fit as described in point, the turret most likely will become stuck in its surroundings and will initiate a self destruction sequence. If this situation should occur, please retreat to a more distant location and expect the cost to be deducted from your soldier's pay. (Do you think our special equipment grows on trees?)
(Ammo Switching / Reloading)
(F)- The turret can choose from either standard Exotec(tm) rockets or high-speed energy bullets (source: normal energy-weapon's ammo) to terminate the enemy. (Note: switching between ammo types takes about a second, because only one of these weapon systems can be deployed at a time) You can also manually force the turret to switch the weapons. (Therefore you need to bind a key in the ChaosUT menu to the "turretchangeweapon" feature)
(G)- Either weapon can be refilled manually by stepping behind the turret.
(Security note: don't leave empty turrets unguarded, the turret uses the last re-filler as its FFP, [FriendFixPoint] so if an enemy refills it, he will own it. If this happens, say goodbye to your pay [one turret + extra costs for possible team member funerals])
(Misc)
(H)- Hint: Don't shoot at your own turret out of boredom, if this occurs you may trigger the automatic defense system.
Note: Turrets shoot first, and then may try to find out who shot at them by analyzing the smoking piles of flesh that remain.
(I)- Future advancement note: Turret version Gamma2.3 will contain an extra shrink stasis field and teleport functions, so you will be able to use manual steering abilities from inside the turret.
(J)- Don't spit into the exhaust pipes!....""
