does sentinel effect work while crouching instead of standing?

Use console command to see active buffs?

[bunny de fluff]

ok but how to do that?

You might be able to do that without the console by using your pipboy on the status tab.

As for the console, not entirely sure, I would have to have a piece of the gear and experiment to find out. The buff is probably listed on the wiki page if you search for fallout 4 console commands.

gonna spawn 6 pieces of sentinel and test it to see how it goes

at 90% damage reduction while standing still would it matter if you had to stand? you may as well just activate god mode

[bunny de fluff]

i need to crouch for sneak attack, if everytime i crouch the sentinel effect does not work then it is worthless to my build. nothing to do with god mode

[Wrothbog]

15% dmage reduction how does that help you do stealth damage?

if this effect only works while "standing" like what the wikia said, then I can never sneak attack while wearing this now can I?

If you're sneaking, what's attacking you that your resistance to damage would matter?

But as far as I'm aware, it's more about movement than crouching vs. standing. It should be easy to test with the console if you have six armour pieces and a matching weapon.

No need even for console. Stand next to a wall, throw a molotov at it and compare the damage.

i'm reasonably sure sentinel works except when they knock you around causing you to move.

[bunny de fluff]

thanks for all the replies. I will go test and report back to you.

The answer is: the effect does not work while crouching. One has to be standing for the effect to work.

Ok, so I can keep on vendoring sentinnel armor :)
