- Turrets have % damage resist that decays over s, and 35% melee resist and 35% spirit resist that do not decay.
- Turrets deal 50% damage to Troopers and Denizens and 30% damage to Objectives.
- Turret targeting works as follows:
- It will initially target the nearest enemy hero in line of sight when it is placed. If no hero is in sight, it will target the nearest enemy unit.
- It will only switch targets once its initial target dies or leaves sight, or when McGinnis starts shooting a hero in sight, in which case all turrets will attempt to aim at the hero being shot.
- Shooting a unit or hitting an enemy hero with Melee Attacks, abilities or items will not change the turret's target.
- Damage Falloff does not affect incoming damage to the turrets. The turrets will always take full Weapon Damage from an enemy, regardless of distance.
- Turrets yield
40 souls + 4 per minute when killed. Part of the bounty can be denied as a Soul Orb.

“Time to reshape the battlefield.
McGinnis is a Hero in Deadlock. The head of Fairfax Industries Military R&D department, McGinnis has a high opinion of her work which includes her machine gun, automatic numerous Mini Turrets, Spectral Walls, that she can create to protect teammates, hold down positions and trap enemies, Medicinal Specter, which dispenses health to nearby allies, and finally, a devastating spectral Heavy Barrage that can reach even faraway enemies.
A talented engineer who started her career from a young age, Margaret "Maggie" McGinnis isn't fond of theoretical work, thus spending most of her time working in a mechanics shop, often meddling with the supernatural. While the ethics of brainstorming the occult war machine are grey at best, McGinnis isn't that fussed so long as she gets her paycheck.

Backstory
See McGinnis/Lore for more story content.
“Maggie McGinnis always had a knack for building things. At 4 she was using Lincoln Logs to recreate architectural marvels. At 10 she built and rewired a custom light fixture for her parent's anniversary. At 15 she designed a machine that refined the souls of the dead...that last one got a little more attention than the Lincoln Logs.
Now the head of Fairfax Industries Military R&D department, McGinnis spends her time in the machine shop, not in a lab. She's not interested in theory, to her science is magic you can touch.
