Sentry

"SENTRY" In-game description

The Sentry is the default slot 4 weapon for Sapper that is deployed and attacks enemies on its own. It could hit enemies as long as there are no objects obstructing their view on the said enemy, although it will still target enemies that have shields. It prioritizes the closest enemy to it.

Its appearance changes as it gets upgraded, but generally it has a horizontal barrel and a team colored body, with a dark gray base that forms a cross shape. At level 1, it has 1 barrel, level 2, 2 barrels, and level 3, 4 barrels. Level 3 sentries also have noticeable "spikes" at the top of its barrels.

Tactics

 * Be sure to deploy it on flat surfaces as in most cases, Sentries would slide down on slopes and be unable to plant themselves.


 * Deploy it in areas where it could see most enemies such as nearby an objective point or behind a corner, but try to place it in a hard to reach area to lessen the chances of it being destroyed immediately.


 * You could also deploy it while in combat to distract enemies and either force them to attempt to destroy the Sentry while it is building, or be able to also shoot them with it.


 * Try not to stay too close to your Sentry if enemies are using explosive weapons to destroy it.


 * Sentries can be upgraded using either the Catalyst or the electro rifle's explosive charges. The hammer only repairs it if it is damaged.


 * Upgrading Sentries improves its fire rate and health, and can be done almost instantaneously upon building if the user has a catalyst and an electro rifle explosive charge ready. This becomes an incredibly annoying playstyle to use, as the Sentry is ridiculously effective at killing enemies in a short amount of time, even if it isn't upgraded.
