Swat truck sentry turret health

[Justin Itforthemen]

I hope not to come off as whiney or a noob but I feel that the sentry turret health on top of swat trucks is obscenely high. I put 2 full 700 round minigun clips into one and only knocked its armor off without actually destroying it. I was on very hard difficulty on the Slaughterhouse contract. there are several difficulties higher than very hard and I dont feel as though it is a tough difficulty at all but playing a mission where that turret spawns everytime without fail makes grinding the mission for cash very tedious and annoying. Are there weapons that are better at destroying it? or explosives? I am a returning player and havent sat down and played for several years so I have forgotten strategies, reliable builds, ect.

And don't use a minigun for that, most of your shots won't hit the right spot. It's not accurate enough.

First of all use you explosive weapon - china, judge with HE ammo etc...to take out turret shield 3 times. After third time it will stay up and you can finally destroy it.
Than use something with either high dmg or high ROF and shoot targeting lens(shotguns are not very good for this due to range and spread).
Also note it you hide behind the wall and turret is shooting at that wall, game acts like it is hitting you. Your HP and Armor wont go down, but armor wont regen since you are "getting shot" through wall. You can notice this if you use custom HUD - aka your armor regen is constantly resetting like when you are actually getting shot. This bug is most noticable in Bank Heist.
When I was new(non infamy) I called one dude who destroyed turret with Thanatos a pro in Bank Heist lol.

Well something like the thanatos can send a turret running for repairs in one or two shots, depending on the difficulty. Maybe using what is the least accurate automatic weapon ever used in a military role might not be a good idea.

use swan song and golden ak with someone for revive you (of course after the turret shield is down) and this turret will be old story

Most of the time you can ignore them and hide behind cover, defend in areas they are not covering or run past them fast enough for them not to be a problem.

Please note that the turret heals itself whenever it slides back down into the van, and you have to hit a very small weak point to do more than 2 damage per bullet.

Ceiling and Van turrets are totally different, ceiling turrets will die in 3 to 4 shots from anything.

Don't waste your money getting a rocket launcher/RPG either, you'd think they're there specifically to take out turrets, but there's a cap on how much damage a turret can take and it's also scripted to go into repair mode twice.

ecms can mess up turrents and turn them on your side but... loud ecms are very rare and expensive. (more expensive than c4 upgrades)

This is not a bug, it's a game mechanic known as suppression, which can be triggered by pretty much any enemy shooting at you but not hitting you. Most enemies will reposition themselves or give up trying to hit you if you leave their line of sight, though, you most notice it with the turret. This is why Armorer/Hitman's "your armor regenerates after X seconds no matter what" is so important, it's specifically there to counter suppression.

I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions from you guys. Just to give some perspective i play solo because I dont have anyone to play with and can never find any decent missions in the crime.net online screen so I take weapons like the minigun to make up for it when i am being bombarded with waves of cops and special units.

Also for the mission i was doing running past it is next to impossible because on slaughterhouse i have to casually meander across an open parking lot with 8 bags of gold with little cover from one end to the other so killing the turret is the only way I see of getting by that area.

Thank you guys again for your time and comments I greatly appreciate it.

Are you sure its a bug? I always thought its suppressive fire effect.
