Players can beat the enemy turrets in Starfield by accessing a computer terminal, corner peeking, outrunning, or teaming up with Livey. Read on how to get past the turrets in the Mantis quest, and more detailed steps on how to beat turrets using each method.

Players can sometimes find a computer terminal nearby where they can reprogram the turrets and other security robots. Access this terminal and disable the turrets or update its friend/foe setting so that it will not be hostile anymore. Do note that not all areas with turrets have a computer nearby, so you will have to use other methods to beat them.
You can also utilize the corner peeking strategy to slowly whittle away the health of the turrets. This can be done by hugging the wall next to the room where the turrets are. Then, quickly move to the side and shoot at the turret once or twice before moving back to cover. This lets you deal some damage before the turrets can aim at you and shoot you.
Combat Tips and Mistakes to Avoid
The turrets can also be defeated by outrunning them. To do this, you have to consume an Amp, an aid item, to boost your movement speed fast enough so that the turrets cannot aim at you. Afterwards, sprint as fast as you can until you can find a safe place to hide from the turrets.

During the Mantis quest, you will meet a man named Livey in the Lair of the Mantis. He will warn you about the trap up ahead, and you can team up with him so that he disables the turrets in the room.
Mantis Quest Reward and Solution
If you killed Livey, or prefer not to team up with him, you can also solve the puzzle in the room to disable the turrets. This can be done by spelling out the word ''TYRANNIS'' one letter at a time as you walk along the lettered tiles.
Lastly, you can use the previous methods that was mentioned earlier in the article. The two methods that would work well in this puzzle would be to outrun the turrets or by corner peeking them.
You can choose to ignore the puzzle altogether and outrun the turrets by consuming an Amp. Once you use one, sprint to the end of the room and press the button by the door. Doing so will disable the turrets and open the door for you.
If you accidentally made the turrets hostile before you reached the end of the room, you can also destroy them by using the corner peeking tactic. Just hide next to the wall near the room and place your crosshair to where the turret would be. Then, move to the side and shoot at it briefly before going back to cover.
