'''Defective Turrets''', also called "Crap Turrets" by [[Wheatley]], are damaged, ammo-less, unfinished, or faultily assembled [[Sentry Turret|Sentry Turrets]]. Unlike normal Sentry Turrets, Defective Turrets have a more humorous and sarcastic dialogue, and speak in a masculine, less robotic voice.

They are harmless to [[Chell]], many times making comments such as "If anyone asks, I killed you". Their voice lines seem to imply they are blind, but they are still aware of Chell's presence. They are first encountered in Chapter 5: The Escape.

*They lack the outer white shell of normal [[Turret|turrets]], and their insides are visible. Additionally, their laser guide is off or broken, and their dialogue indicates they are blind, though they seem to notice [[Chell]] regardless. They also seem to be out of bullets, as when they fire, only a clicking sound is made. After a while, they bizarrely catch on fire and explode. Some even appear to have been assembled sideways, or are still in their boxes.

*In Chapter 5 of [[Portal 2]], [[Chell]] sabotages the assembly lines by replacing the template [[turret]] with a defective one, causing all the fully functional [[Turret|turrets]] to be thrown out. This does not prevent fully-functional turrets from appearing later, so it's possible this problem was later rectified or did not affect the turrets which had already been built.

*When [[GLaDOS]] attempts to surround [[Chell]] with [[Turret|turrets]], she instead uses these because of the earlier sabotage. They simply stand around and click, then explode.

*[[Wheatley]] later repeats this error when he plans a perfectly good ambush for [[Chell]], but uses defective turrets instead of working ones, despite knowing of [[Chell|Chell's]] sabotage. Once again they explode harmlessly.

*They speak in a masculine voice rather than the feminine ones like the rest of the [[Turret|turrets]]. Their voices also seem to lack the robotic edge of the normal [[Turret|turrets]].

*They sometimes will ask other [[Turret|turrets]] for bullets, try to speak in a higher voice to imitate non-defective ones, and humorously shout "Blam! Blam! Blam! I'm not defective!" in a vain attempt to not get tossed out.

*Certain defective turrets are in boxes. They do not shoot and blow up near instantly.
