How to destroy a Sentry ?

[Hadouken]

Hey guys, we are on a server, where nearly every base is full of sentries, wich is the best way to kill a sentry in your opinion ? Its pretty sensless to play on a server, where no base can fall cuz of 20-30 sentries. greatingd

Drain their ammo with Deo's or tank pets like turtles. If they only shoot at players, hide behind those same pets.

I dont play online (yet) so I havent experienced many of the online PvP focused elements of the game, but this video should give you some information.

Drawing the fire of the Sentries and then throwing explosives can work, but I am not sure what you would do if the turrets are staggered so that they overlap and protect each other. Even if you make one or two start shooting at you, there may be a third that'll still shoot your rocket or whatever.

But then again, if they've invested the thousands of resources to have such a system running, it should take a similarly large amount of effort to bring it down.

throw grenades at it -> grenades do bit more dmg than any other weapon(except the rocketlauncher ofcourse)

The turrets shoot down grenades, remember? The only way to use a grenade is to get so close that it shoots the grenade while the grenade is very close to it so it still does a good bit of the damage. Same goes for an RPG from what I've seen. Get close enough that it has to shoot it right next to it and then it still does most of the damage if not all.

The other fella was right. You need to bring pets to drain bullets or hide behind. The doedicurus is amazing cuz it's health drops to 20% and then it curls and still tanks bullets but doesn't lose anymore HP.

This may be off-topic but can be answered relatively quickly -

How do you actually deal with them when they go into "Protection" mode?

I had one spawn INSIDE my base and I thought I'd just get rid of it. No luck. Every single time I'd nearly kill it, then it would curl up and sit there. I'd achieve nothing by continuing to hit it, so I went back to managing things in my base - when after a few minutes the Dino would uncurl and come attack me again.

Being an endless annoyance for 2 game days until I deliberately went all the way to the other end of the Island and back again for him to despawn.

afaik best way is to use explosives. and they take damage, but very very very slowly.. So after some hours of attacking with your pets it should go down. use narco traps when its going to attack you.

Tranq it then kill it when it's unconscious

You need something with high damage to burst it when it gets up. That or just leave it alone. Unless your issue is the dinos you have in your base being on aggressive and constantly hitting it.

no offtopic plz :)

[Shalashaska]

there is a trilion way to do it u just gotta think outside the box

Shot it right in the face with an Ascendant Longneck rifle (210.4% damage) the moment it got back up. Only for it to curl up again.

Seems like a flawed Dino design if even that doesnt work.

[Squirting Elephant]

Will a doed dino work? Will it curl up and drain all of the sentries ammo? Can't you just hide behind a curled doed until all ammo is gone?

Doed's can be killed by explosives btw.

[Venrez]

I imagine it'd work better than using other Dino's against the turrets - but I believe tamed Dino's take additional modifier damage from Sentry Turrets, like x2 or x4 or something.

I believe tamed aerial Dino's take a whopping x8 damage or so.

Thing is, you'd need to move the Dino up a little bit each time to curl up and absorb the turret fire. I wouldnt advise tanking all of them at the same time. There's also the risk that the Turrets may change target the moment the Dino changes from standard mode to curled-up mode, given its technically a different entity in the eyes of the AI targeting.

there week. fly in circles with a leveled tera. even if there full on ammo, it wont take long to empty them.
