Overview
Daniel reviews defensive sentries across different game missions, evaluating a favorite defense setup of autocannon, mortar, rocket sentry, and incendiary mines, an Automaton defense on Marfak featuring an EMS mortar, standard sentries, minefield, and Tesla tower against heavy units, and a bug mission loadout testing the Gatling Sentry, Machine Gun Sentry, HMG Emplacement, and minefield.
Deployment tactical factors include beacon bouncing preventing sentry placement on steep mountain rocks, placing mortars clear of nearby rocks to prevent premature detonation, positioning incendiary mines at choke points or spawns, and sentry risks like friendly fire or rushes, while taking full sentry loadouts precludes heavy airstrikes.
Specific weapon assessments show the autocannon sentry damages heavy targets like Chargers, Crushers, and Hulks but struggles against Bile Titans, Gatling and machine gun sentries shred light and medium enemies, and the stationary HMG Emplacement suffers mobility limits relative to the Mech Walker.
Themes
Sentry performance, deployment considerations, and weapon loadouts across defense missions.
Developments
Daniel reviewed sentry loadouts across multiple defense missions, including an Automaton mission on Marfak and an anti-bug machine gun evaluation.
A teammate landed directly on Daniel and apologized.
Uncertainties & gaps
Daniel is uncertain whether immediate enemy spawns at landing resulted from an unannounced patch, and whether tower drop placements were restricted.
Daniel is unsure if the autocannon sentry damages tanks, suspects the rocket sentry does, and questions whether the HMG Emplacement can damage Bile Titans or bug holes.
