Right now, in my current SP playthrough, I have the turret built for Shock attack, cryo ammo, and flamethrower. Do those abilities stack on the turret; once I upgrade to the cry ammo, do I lose the shock attack?
Engineer powers, specifically Sentry Turret

No, they can stack. The shock attack, like the flamethrower, is a separate ability from the bullets fired. The shock attack is like the Combat Drone's and Defense Drone electrical discharge attack; it is not tied to the bullets fired from the turret.

Ah, thanks very much. I always end up tossing the thing so far away that all I ever see is its flame attack.

As I understand it, this isn't quite accurate. As far as I can tell from in game MP experience, and from looking at the coalesced file, each of a drone's abilities shares a cooldown - so if you throw your turret, it'll decide what target it's going to hit. If it uses its rocket, it'll wait 3 seconds before it comes to another decision.
I'm not sure whether the flamethrower shares this cooldown - certainly, I've never seen the turret simultaneously shock and flame someone.
I explained the statistics behind the drones on reddit's wiki: http://www.reddit.co...i_sentry_turret
