To complete this challenge, you will have to have played the heist from the start.
This weapon is also an excellent trump card, before being incapacitated or when needed to revive more than one crew member while being attacked.īeat any heist using the STRYK Pistol, AK Rifle, GL40 Grenade Launcher, Toolkit upgrade, Sentry Gun equipment and Big Game Hunters crew bonus. In First World Bank, dropping a sentry gun near the vault counter is also a good way to distract enemies while the crew empties the vault, as the exit of the vault is a dangerous chokepoint for the crew when they try to get out. The sentry gun can also be a nice distraction when, for example, running out of the vault of Diamond Heist on an extreme difficulty and you know there are specials behind you, you can drop the sentry and it will stall enemies long enough for you to run to the chopper in this case, or generally get safe. They should take down Shields as well as enemies who are trying to flank it while the sentry gun easily handles the rest of the enemies. To utilize the sentry gun to its fullest potential, at least one or two players should stay around it. Placing its back against a wall or corner is also very helpful to prevent enemies from flanking. Place the sentry to prolong the time it has to take down enemies before they get close. While keeping the entire entrance covered within range, try to place it as far away from the entrance as possible. To protect it and maximize the effectiveness, it is advised to place it toward the main direction where the assault waves will approach. It has limited range and angles, further limiting its versatility. The sentry gun also relies heavily on its placement, as it cannot be moved elsewhere once it has been put down. Their high, if not, near invulnerable resistance to damage, is sufficient for them to rush to a sentry gun and dispose of it without too much trouble. Bulldozers are another great enemy of the sentry gun. There is also a rare glitch in which even if the shield officer himself is killed, the sentry gun may continuously fire at the shield. If a Shield is around, it would be best to hold onto the turret until the special unit is floored. Even after the Shield Officer is taken down by players, the shield itself may sometimes still stand in front of the sentry, blocking its line of fire for a while. The bane of the sentry gun presents itself in the form of the Shield Officer - all it takes is for a Shield to stand in front of the sentry gun, and the autonomous weapon will expend all its ammo on that one target without actually dealing any damage. It is especially useful on Overkill 145+ difficulty as it can quickly clear areas with many bulldozers such as the bank vault. The sentry gun can be used to great effect to defend choke-points, as the dual machine guns can easily defeat SWAT and Special units alike. One of the most fatal flaws though, is the lack of intelligence - the sentry will not prioritize targeting enemies based on threat, and as a result, may fail to stop a charging Cloaker or a Taser who is incapacitating someone. The sentry will make an audible "cranking" noise when out of ammunition, so one should keep an ear out for this and change tactics accordingly. Even when upgraded, it will inevitably run out of ammo, with no way of replenishment, limiting its lifespan and effectiveness. Initially, the sentry Gun only has enough ammo to kill around a dozen or so enemies, assuming the enemies don't destroy it first. The equipment does have some serious drawbacks though. When upgraded, it is unparalleled in its firepower, and it is highly effective against most types of enemies. 
It doesn't need reloading and it is both more sensitive to its surroundings and more accurate than a player.
Furthermore, the sentry gun is immune to smokescreen, Tasers, and Cloakers.
Though offset by its inability to take cover, it still lasts longer than players when right next to bulldozers.

If set up in the right place, it can make short work of assault waves, and free up team members for other activities.Ĭompared to players, the sentry gun also has many advantages such as higher health. From there, the sentry gun will target and fire at enemy policemen automatically, and will do so until it runs out of ammo, or is destroyed by incoming fire (enemies will target the sentry gun if they are in range).Īlthough in some scenarios a doctor or ammo bag can be more helpful, the sentry gun performs in a role like no other, and when upgraded sufficiently, can almost function as another team member, albeit one dedicated to providing supporting fire only. Similar to the trip mines and refill bags, the sentry gun is a deployable item that must be equipped before a heist in order to be utilized.
