do sentry guns benefit from the sicario perk deck smoke grenade?

^ do the sentry guns avoid 50% bullets fired at them? does it reduce the sentry guns accuracy (doubtful)? it says "allies." now i assume that it is JUST other heisters but you never know. would be pretty cool to make your sentry guns a little tankier out in the open.

the reason i assume it is just heisters is because the other buffs applied by the smoke grenade later on in the perk deck apply dodge chance which (im pretty sure) can only apply to heisters.

just thought i would ask and see if i could snag a dev response or some other hard proof of how it interacted.

on a similar note, is the 50% "avoid bullets" 50% dodge chance? or some other mechanic? the reason this is important is that 50% dodge chance for a team mate in an ICTV isn't useful. but 50% of bullets being shot at them missing is useful

EDIT: no way to really test if the sentries take less damage but i can confirm that sentires do NOT contribute towards kills reducing the cooldown of the smoke grenade. it is only kills done by yourself (boohoo)

can also confirm that the smoke grenade's 50% "avoid bullets" is in fact 50% dodge because i regain my armor when being shot inside the smoke grenade WHILE wearing an ICTV (which has -55 dodge) so if you like the ICTV while in combat instead of dodge you can still use this deck and have amazing survivability inside the smoke grenade. i think the deck overall works better with an LWB and sneaky bastard though. however, using an ICTV and not using sneaky bastard does give you way more weapon options

I would assume it doesn't affect turrets at all unless it was specified otherwise. I'd like to think it its the same with converts, they don't benefit from any other crew bonuses.

sentry guns build maniac stacks so there's always a chance with new perk decks that sentry guns will affect or be affected by them in some way.

No, sentries can't dodge.
