Nice video and challenge of using sentries only. Machine gun sentry is nice to take out the small guys but limited on higher difficulty. It will be cool if you have a buddy with sentries doing the challenge as well
Yeah I am considering bringing a friend for the higher difficulties. For one it would be nice to have some extra help and two it would just be hilarious to see even more sentry shenanigans!
I, personally, would count the artillery as a 'sentry'. Yes, it can't fire on its own, it's a remote controlled arty, but that's as close as you'll get to a sentry that can shoot out objectives :3
i reckon you got this. Autocannon is your most important sentry for the higher difficulties because of the stun. would recommend placing it a little further back because its range is pretty good and its a little easier to get it to focus on heavys. on maps with big open spaces rocket sentry works really well for covering you by itself for extended periods because of its range. Also machine gun sentry can be worth using to crush a charger with a little practice if you land the ball on its back and it sticks
Yeah positioning the autocannon seems to be a good key to success that I need to work on. And I am happy to hear that about rocket sentry, I have never really used it and I know for a while it was not great but I was hoping to use it later when there are more big enemies.
You can probably do this all the way to 7, after that your sentries are extremely likely to get swamped. I personally run gatling, auto, rocket, then machine gun if I'm going all the way. Mortars are good, I'm just not a fan.
There are some maps where you can drop the sentry, and it'll be up on high ground where the bugs can't do anything about it. Like, you dropped it and all of a sudden you look up and there is actually a cliff above you sort of deal.
Also, you are going to find dropping them in combat, problematic - eventually, for say, large bug holes (the ones that have 10, haven't met super helldive ones yet) you'll want to find an entrance in and place them there. That being said, you'll find your sentries will kill each other if they aren't placed carefully. My gatling has ruined my auto cannon trying to shoot something on the other side of it for example. Oh, for the small map kill x amount of things before the extract shows up ones, swarm? I should know this, the edge of the map is your friend. They don't spawn, for some reason, in the out of bounds areas.
I might allow it in the later difficulties since its a random mission objective but for these first few I am only using the ones I can bring in my loadout.

Comment any other sentry tips you have! Also, what are you guys' favorite sentry?

"All my sentries are gone, so it's a really good thing Pelican 1 is here."
Pelican 1: *shooting a rock* "You're welcome."
Lmao that the pilot and gatling sentry were on the same page
Bro is playing as the TF2 Engineer I can tell becase Im an engineer
ping priority targets for the ems mortar, there is a ship module that makes mortars focus marked enemies
Yeah that one would be nice. I don't have enough samples for that one yet. I bought some of the other upgrades first.

Yeah if I find one in the later difficulties I think I'll allow it
Autocannon sentry is my favorite. It’s fun to use against bile titans hulks.

Enjoying this series very much! Waiting for the next set!

If you count it as a sentry, the heavy machine gun emplacement is reallllllllly good for the rocket defense. They don't despawn.
Might also consider the new booster if you bring the machine gun sentry - you should probably be allowed to melee bugs as well.
Ride your turrets for safety lol
All green strats is crazy 😂
Why not use the Eruptor until you unlock the ability to use guns for it's explosive trait to deal with bug holes.
That is also a good idea!
Arty doesn't count? Only difference is that you have to tell it what to do. otherwise its just a big mortar sentry
I might allow it in the later difficulties since its a random mission objective but for these first few I am only using the ones I can bring in my loadout.
Bring Eruptor for the bugholes? Much better ammo economy
Go HELLDIVERS
Hopefully we get buffs
Yeah seriously! More strategems!
Why you even playing a chalenge on level 3? Bro... :D
We are going through each difficulty!
