In Starfield, there are many different ways to set up your ship, but if you do not want to control weapons in battle, auto turrets are the one for you.
Ship battles can be tricky as you attempt to lock on to an enemy vessel and start unleashing your weaponry. However, you can set your ship to auto-fire by using turrets.
If you are wondering how to get auto turrets, you are in the right place. So, let’s dive in and discuss this weapon type.
What Are Auto Turrets in Starfield?
Auto turrets are weapons you can add to your ship that automatically lock on to hostile vessels. When these turrets are added to your ship, you will not need to press anything for them to fire.
The downside to auto turrets is that they are inaccurate due to the player not controlling them. Additionally, you can get turrets for any of the weapon styles, which include:
- Ballistic Weapons
- Lasers
- Missiles

To get auto turrets in Starfield, head to a Ship Services Technician and select “I’d like to view and modify my ships.” Then, enter the ship builder and open the parts menu, scrolling to “weapons,” where you will see different turret options.
- Head to a Ship Services Technician.
- Select “I’d like to view and modify my ships.”
- Enter ship builder by pressing X (Xbox) or B (PC).
- Select an area away from your ship and press A (Xbox) or G (PC) to bring up the parts menu.
- Scroll through the options until you get to “Weapons.”
- Look for any weapon that contains the word “Turret.”

We recommend adding the turret to the back of your ship, as this will allow you to fire at enemies who are tailing you. However, you can add it to the front if you wish.
