Destroyed ten Turrets in Burial at Sea - Episode 1.

How to unlock the Confirmed Luddite achievement in BioShock Infinite - Definitive Guide

Destroy 10 turrets.

You do NOT need to get this in a single playthrough. After you have finished your first playthrough and still don't have the achievement, load up the chapter "Arrived at Fontaine's station" and play through again destroy turrets until you have the achievement. For some reason the game counts turrets you have destroyed regardless of whether you destroyed the same one a bunch of times.

Credit to spxyu02 and X509Cert for directions to the turrets after loading the chapter "Arrived at Fontaine's station"

spxyu02 - "I was on 8/10 after my first playthrough (killed some while possessed I guess), loaded said Chapter, and knocked out the first one, grabbed a lock-pick in the crouch-accessible area across from the first turret, opened the locked door on the first floor, and the next turret is at the bottom of a spiral staircase being worked on by a couple splicers"

X509Cert - "Following on from Spxyu02 - _ finished 7/10, take out the first two turrets he mentions, then follow the arrows (press up on D-Pad) you'll come to some stairs and some splicers - take 'em out and you'll see another turret. "

Confirmed. I was on 8/10 after my first playthrough (killed some while possessed I guess), loaded said Chapter, and knocked out the first one, grabbed a lock-pick in the crouch-accessible area across from the first turret, opened the locked door on the first floor, and the next turret is at the bottom of a spiral staircase being worked on by a couple splicers.

If you need more then the 3 turrets you can go where they said and just restart the checkpoint and kill the first 1 or 2, repeat.

Excellent. I couldn't find 10 my first time through and this tip saved me a lot of trouble.

I explored every nook and cranny and destroyed every turret I can across, and only got 9 so I'm pretty positive 10 is impossible in one playthrough. Pretty dumb way to go about an achievement, you ask me.

Yes, it's very unlikely that you'll get this in one playthrough. It's not a big deal, seeing as you can reload a checkpoint and continue destroying them.

Should note there are two turrets that these guides missed.

The first is at the front of the sign under the TOYS after you close vent in the customer service area.

And the last one is under the stairs after you freeze the final bridge (down from where you enter the office to get the last Audio Log)

I just completed the DLC in one play through and I can confirm that there are 10 turrets throughout the game. Last turret was under the ice bridge while going for the last audio log

it should also be noted that if you use Possesion on a turret and then blow it up prior to possession wearing off and it becoming hostile towards you again that turret will not count, happened to me twice I came up 2 shy of the achievement because of it.

I can confirm. Every turret was destroyed on my first playthough, but some were possessed at the time, and I think there's a chance some were killed by splicers (or something weird like that). I was at 8/10 then replayed "Arrived at Fontaine's Station" per TwiK999's solution and finished it there.

This one is tricky because there are several ways to destroy turrets without counting toward the achievement. To wit, turrets destroyed by environmental damage, enemy damage (via Possession), and damage over time (when the turret is at low health) will not count toward the achievement. All ten turrets must be directly destroyed by your weapons and/or plasmids.

For best results, play on easy mode and feel free to exploit the checkpoint system to destroy the same turret over and over again. You do not have to destroy all ten turrets in one play-through. The counter is cumulative across any number of play-throughs or checkpoint reloads.

WARNING: This trophy can be tricky if you are using Possession. Enemies can destroy a Possessed turret so you won't get credit towards this trophy. Likewise a Possessed enemy can destroy any nearby turrets so you won't get credit for that either. To avoid this, don't use Possession on a turret or any enemies that are near a turret.

For this trophy you must destroy 10 turrets in Burial at Sea and there are exactly 10 of them available, their locations are listed below.

Turret Locations:

The Pavilion (7):

From the beginning of the section, go right and enter the door marked "Stairs to Floor 2". There are four turrets in this area:

 

  • Up the stairs to the left (the floor right above The Daily Bread).
  • Inside the Daily Bread, in the basement (requires 1 lockpick).
  • In Workman's Wear shop (up the stairs past the front counter, behind the display of shirts).
  • In the Haberdashery inside the Workman's Wear shop (next to Ticket Puncher gear).


On the Second Floor of The Pavillion, there is a door marked "Ladieswear". There are two turrets in this area:

 

  • Go up the stairs and to the area in front of the Shoe store. The turret is in an alcove to the left.
  • In the Shoe Store storeroom (requires the code from Audio Diary "Message in a Bottle" which is in the locked storeroom of the Jewelry Store).


Through the Pret-a-Porter door on the first floor (requires Old Man Winter Plasmid), there is one Turret here:

 

  • Straight ahead from the entrance, next to a Carbine Tear.


Housewares (3):

 

  • In the bookstore on the second floor.
  • In front of the Bridal Shop (turn right at the Customer Service counter).
  • In the locker room in Appliances. After boosting Elizabeth through the vent, enter the locker room she opens for you and turn left. In front of you, you'll see a stream of water that can be frozen. Turn to your left and follow the path downstairs. The final turret is to the left of the stairs.


There are two ways to take a turret out quickly:

 

  1. Hitting it with a Devil's Kiss trap.
  2. Performing a Skyline Strike.

I would recommend the latter when a hook is available.

If you finish your first playthrough and didn't get this trophy, you can use Chapter Select to shore up the numbers later if you need to, since the counter for this trophy is cumulative. If you need to farm turret kills, use Chapter Select and go to the Pavilion. If you go through the doors marked "Stairs to Floor 2" (left from the beginning of the area) there are four in this area.

The trophy is cumulative, i.e. On the third playthrough, for example, finishing off the remaining turrets is not a problem.

PS if a turret under subordination is destroyed by splicers and not by the player, then it does not count

and to avoid having to go through it a second time, just reset the check point and hit it.

If you didn't manage to destroy 10 turrets in one playthrough, that's okay. Load any chapter (except the first), run to the first turret you come across and break it. Repeat the procedure until you get the achievement.
