Where To Find It
Auto Turret Rune: Chapter 12
Upgrades
TIER 1: Extended Magazine: Increases how long the turret stays active after it’s deployed, letting it deal more sustained damage over time.
TIER 2: Health Extractor: Demons damaged by the turret drop health pickups, which helps you recover during hectic battles without breaking your rhythm.
TIER 3: Rapid Fire: Boosts the turret’s fire rate and increases the damage each shot deals. Makes it much more effective against tougher demons or in dense fights.
Additional Information
Auto Turret Rune
Spawns a shoulder-mounted auto turret after parrying a Hell Surge. The turret locks onto demons in front of you and fires continuously for a short time. It tracks your view, so you can loosely guide its fire by turning your head. Excellent for wiping out fodder, supporting damage on bigger threats, and conserving ammo while keeping the pressure on.
