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]

Bunker with shrike turret

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 Shrike turret's range and damage is equivalent to a garrisoned marine without upgrades. The turret allows an empty bunker to defend itself.

The Shrike turret upgrade and the fortified bunker upgrade are mutually exclusive. The latter increases bunker hitpoints.

Acquisition

Adds an automated turret to bunkers.[1]

We have developed an automated turret that comes standard with all bunkers. This turret, which is based on our studies of spore crawlers, adds extra firepower to manned bunkers and also allows unmanned bunkers to contribute to base defense.

Campaign Acquisition
Acquired from Hyperion laboratory for 5 zerg research points

The following section contains information from a previous version of StarCraft II which is no longer valid.

The turret was once designated the "Mk.8 Shrike automated impaler turret", and it was created by Servo Servants.[2]
