I’ve seen a few gamepays where the players use autosentry and from what I’ve seen it looks underpowered but I’m going to give it a try in multiplayer anyways. is anyone else going to use it?
Depending on how powerful it is and how easy it is to shoot down, will result in how often I use it.
I’m gonna use everything.
I can confirm that it is indeed awful. Good thing too.
yeah… il try it but it doesnt seem very useful, il probably be using thruster pack, regeneration field and hard light shield.
Nah its probably going to be almost useless/ cannon fodder in the long run so no I won’t be using it as there are better abilities in play.
I might in a gametype like dominion.
I do not think they that they want the auto-sentry to be overpowerful, but instead just a deterrent so I think that is why they did not make it very game changing
I’m gonna use everything at some point, but it doesn’t look very good, so I probably won’t use it much.

Same, the other aa look way more useful
The auto-sentry seems perfectly balanced for it’s use, in my opinion.
On the topic of underrated AAs, I was one of the few people who used hologram well in Reach, and now that they gave it a massive buff in H4, I’m worried I won’t be the only one anymore!
It seems pretty useless to me.

I’m definitely going to be using hologram, and promethean vision too.
From what I have seen in the PAX gameplay the Autosentry has a very far firing range, it was shooting at people from across the map on Exile. It however looks like it has very low health, a slow firing rate, and low damage output. If they gave a minor buff to one of the three that I mentioned(preferably firing speed) it could change some opinions. Before anything gets changed I would like to get my hands on it first.
Auto Sentry is a perfect distraction in BTB when vehicles are rushing. They will target the Auto Sentry, thats when you Plasma Pistol them and sticky them with grenades. It gives you ally when all your friends are dead, it can spare your life, be your friend, it is a game changer when used properly.
Yep, I used it at Eurogamer and got loads of kills. It worked best for me in 2 scenarios:
-
On Solace, there were 3 people sniping on the balcony. I came up from behind, put down a sentry, and then let rip with the AR killing all 3. The Autosentry definitely helped get them down faster before they could over power me.
-
Being the King in Regicide. Since everyone is coming for you, I just found an easily defendable location, put down a sentry and let it help me oppress the onslaught.
It’s great in niche situations.
I will most likely use it when defending an objective in certain gametypes. Will I use it in offensive roles? No way. I’ll be sporting thruster pack, hardlight shield, and regeneration field for those roles.
thruster pack looks awesome gonna use that for sure, the auto sentry I will try just because its something new, which will lead me to try everything in the game anyway. But constant use? probably not.
It’s pathetic, I won’t be using it.
i think the AS was always supposed to be more of a distraction-class armor mod
