Autsniper

An Autsniper is a moving turret of Chozo origin that appears in Metroid Dread.
==Description==
Autsnipers are primarily found in Dairon. They are positioned on the ground, ceiling and walls. They aim and fire a powerful laser beam at detected intruders, dealing a large amount of damage. Samus can use Melee Counter against an Autsniper right before it fires, and can use an aerial counter should the turret be positioned on a ceiling or wall. Missiles and Charge Beam shots can also damage it, although these are less effective than the Melee Counter.
A few Autsnipers also appear in Elun after Samus acquires the Plasma Beam in that area, demonstrating the beam's effectiveness on robotic targets.
==Official data==
===Metroid Dread Report Volume 8===
"A small sniper robot with a precision laser. It can operate on the ground, walls, and ceilings while aiming and firing at its target from many angles. The laser is a threat capable of dealing great damage, but there’s an opening to Melee Counter right before it fires. If on a wall or ceiling, an aerial Melee Counter would be effective."
==Trivia==
*The Autsniper is similar in appearance and behavior to the Alimbic Turret v2.7, though this is most likely a coincidence.
