Portal 2 Hints
How can I get past this turret?
1 of 8: Charging it is no good, since it'll kill you before you can reach it.
2 of 8: Unless you've got a shield, that is.
3 of 8: If you pick up the first turret and hold it out in front of you, it should deflect most of the second turret's bullets, and you may be able to reach it and push it over without dying.
4 of 8: However, that's not the easiest or safest way to deal with that turret. Look around for other possibilities.
5 of 8: Think portals.
6 of 8: Peeking around the corner, you'll see that the wall behind the second turret is portal-friendly.
7 of 8: Quickly fire a blue portal at the turret so that it forms on the wall behind it, then duck back into cover.
8 of 8: Put an orange portal on a wall that's out of the turret's sight, then go through it and push the turret over.
