98.38 Manning a Turret from inside the water = Invincible Win

[Maldrak]

I encountered a Ruin that had a turret being manned by a guy in the water. The turret fired at me, but I could not attack, stun, or otherwise fight the operator. Screenshot attached.

Realized right after I posted this that I could probably exploit the load delay to resolve the issue. It worked, but that too is a bit of a bug/exploit (perhaps unavoidable though...)

How to Resolve this issue if you encounter it in 3 easy steps (workaround/exploit):
Step 1) Get someone up to the turret's normal control point (up on the catwalk) and place your cursor directly over the turret (keep it there during the next steps).
Step 2) Pause, then Quicksave (F5), then Quickload (F9).
Step 3) When it loads, quickly right-click on the turret to take control before the guy in the water does (might have to quickload a couple of times, and might need to right-click, hold -> man turret).

Once you have control of the turret, it'll shoot at the guy in the water, who will also now leave the water (since he's not anchored to the turret any more.)
