The Hydro Turret is a gadget that is meant to help defend yourself from the Tarr Slimes. It fires out water to destroy them so they don’t damage you. Similar to other gadgets in Slime Rancher 2 like the Dash Pad and Meat Slime Bait, you will need to obtain a blueprint for the Hydro turret before you can make it in the Fabricator. Luckily, you can actually find the blueprint for the Hydro Turret very early in the game.

The blueprint for the Hydro Turret can be found in the northern part of the Rainbow Fields area of the map. This is the area to the west of the conservatory and the area that you will visit first in the game. Head to the area marked on the map above. You will find an area where you can jump over to a sandy, rocky section.

Once you get the blueprint, you can craft the Hydro Turret at the Fabricator in the conservatory as long as you have the required materials placed in the Refinery.
