Sentry PSA

[Heck]

No one likes people who use mortar sentries and tesla towers.
It makes you a team killing cvnt

Thank you for your time.

PSA: if you're getting rushed by the enemy:
you . have . 2 . seconds . to . disengage . and . run

I used to hate mortars too, but I got used to how people used them.

If you're getting killed by mortar entries and tesla towers your positioning is bad.

I'm with you on mortars, but only against bugs. Tesla tower is this big and bright electrical doom pylon. It's really on you if you walk into it...unless it has been placed somewhere dumb, like behind a corner.

Tesla pylon is great on bug defence missions, which is the only place it's worth bringing, anyway. If you see it, leave it alone. It's going to contribute more to wiping out chaff than you will, letting you focus on Bile Titans and Chargers, the only credible threat in those missions.

mortars and tesla towers are for automatons.

100 hours in and still trying to melee the enemy, and blames other people for getting killed by turrets... I guess some people never "Git gud"

[Dain_Ironfoot]

I almost never use them, but let people use what they want. It's on you to be aware. You know what they bring, so be careful.

hellswimmers have spatial awareness challenge (impossible! mortars forgotten about!)

[RatSnakeRichie]

If you get killed by a mortar sentry you were in the wrong, the sentry was just doing its job. Same thing for the tesla tower, learn to be more spatially aware of your surroundings IDIOT.

[Shaabhekh]

Hmm, i reckon it about time we got an armour passive that reduces electrical damage taken... /s

all you gotta do in a tesla tower is lay down but if it's in the right spot you have no reason to go near it

I use 3 sentries. Mortar, Autocannon and Rocket. With the last two, i like to throw them far away from breaches. Well, i try to not throw them behind me but far away. Chargers or Titans, will destroy them pretty quick and most of the time, the team is too busy to defend the sentries. So, i stay with the Mortar and defend it. The big guns further away wont waste ammo on small fries, but as soon a Titan takes a step towards me....

People who die to mortars are glory-seeking rambos who refuse to pay attention to their surroundings, deplete reinforcements at an alarming rate, and are detrimental to helldiver teams everywhere

[LoveTruffle]

The mortar sentry isn't great to begin with. It's weird that so many people cling to it.

Tesla Tower is fine for point defense against bugs so long as you don't plant it in the teams way. It can kill (and distract) a surprising number of bugs. Throw an EMS in the mix and they can cover a flank without needing much attention.
