The Shrike turret is an automated gun mounted on top of terran bunkers.

The turret was developed during the Second Great War by Raynor's Raiders, based on research into zerg spore crawlers.^[1]

Game UnitEdit

The Shrike turret upgrade is available in the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty campaign. It is researched in Hyperion's laboratory and costs 5 zerg research points.^[1] The player must choose between Shrike turrets or fortified bunkers (+150 hit points, for 550 total).

The Shrike turret has the same damage output and range as a marine in a bunker. This allows bunkers to defend themselves even without units inside them. Bunkers with Shrike turrets benefit more from protection and support while fortified bunkers play the more defensive role for itself and others.
