Mobster Turrets

The Mobster Turrets are another type of turret featured in Portal Stories: Mel. They only appear in Old Aperture while Mel and Virgil attempt to escape to the higher tiers of Aperture's labs.

They appear similar to the defective turrets seen in Portal 2, lacking a chassis and having an exposed core. However, unlike those turrets, they are silent and some are bolted to the ground, rendering the player unable to pick them up. They also have Gatling gun-esque rounds on their sides. They are also not defective, and can harm and kill the player should they be activated.

Trivia

 * They originally were going to be voiced by Harry Callaghan, the voice of AEGIS, Rainbow Core, and Cave Johnson. However, the development team could not find a way to reprogram the Turret entity to use the new lines (as Turrets are scriptable in Portal 2, and indeed the Defective Turrets seen in the game are simply normal Turrets with a custom script to change their skin, behavior and voice), so they instead remained silent, and the voice lines went unused.
 * The lines and voices can be found on his channel, Harry101UK, as he posted them after the mod was released.
 * The mobster turrets that are able to be picked up humorously have written on the bottom in yellow writing “do not tip over”
