Sentinel Multi-Tool comparison

[Twogs]

So after farming the camps for a while I am kinda sure there are only two different sentinel multi-tool types.

One looks like a rifle and one like a drill. The rifle like one is always bigger than the drill one. So the question is: Does the drill have any advantage or is the rifle strictly the better choice?

rifle and a pistol yes just the two types
both have the exact same damage bonus...so they are both the best damage-dealering MTs in-game, it's just a question of wot you like...or get both

I searched a bunch of camps for the S-class version. All rifles, no S-class. Then I hit the S-class on the same planet and it was the drill

hey Krash, if the pistol is a drill...does that make the rifle some kind of 'pleasure aid' ?

So going by this the rifle is always better as it comes with more slots

Assuming you actually worry about starting slots.
Other than the very early game, I never even pay attention to starting slots on mulit-tools. Only whether I like how it looks. All multi-tools have the same maximum number of unlockable slots (per class)

Even then I think the rifle looks better than the drill

THAT I agree with, 200%. Maybe even 300%.

I find the pistol ugly as sin.
