Rocket Turret — Detailed Guide
A turret the rider controls
The Rocket Turret is a stationary emplacement in ARK: Survival Evolved that fires 
Rocket Propelled Grenade rounds while a player is mounted on it and aiming. The in-game text: "Mount this to fire Rockets at your enemies. Powered by the rider." Like the 
Minigun Turret, it needs no fuel to run.
Firepower compared with the launcher
Each rocket hits as hard as one from a 
Rocket Launcher, but the turret fires 4 times as fast and, unlike the launcher, loses no durability doing it. Since patch 255.0, firing does chip a small amount of damage off the turret, and it stops firing once its health falls under 5%.
Unlocking and building it
The engram sits at level 99 and costs 100 engram points, with the Minigun Turret and the Rocket Launcher as prerequisites. It is built in a Fabricator or a 
Tek Replicator from:
- 1100
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot - 500
Electronics - 400
Polymer, 
Organic Polymer, or 
Corrupted Nodule - 300
Cementing Paste or 
Achatina Paste
Crafting takes 5 seconds and awards 450 XP.
Weight, loot and paint regions
The turret weighs 4 and does not stack. Our records list it on 12 maps and count 44 crate types that can contain it, including Aberration Red and Aberration Surface Red. It has six paint regions: the base, column and turning mechanism; the seat cushion; the barrel clamps; the rocket barrel; the helm; and the supports for the base and helm along with the turning mechanism.
