best order to spend sentinel batts?

Any opinions out there? I'm thinking about getting the sentinel crystal unlocks first but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Crystals > Praetor Points > Weapon upgrades

Unlocking the other armors can be done after the game and are pretty useless

Crystals are really the only thing worth getting at all, and maybe a mod bot to immediately put Arbalest on the ballista once you get it. The rest is just filler.

How many outfits are there? I'm a little paranoid I'm not seeing everything I'm supposed to see.

3 outfits, 2 mod bots, 2 crystals, 4 suit points IIRC

This is like exactly opposite of what the others suggest, what's your reasoning?

If you're not playing Doomguy are you really even playing Doom? I was red Doomguy until I unlocked classic Green Doomguy. It was my first unlock in the fortress.

Yes. But there's a fun exploit/glitch involving upgrades and the Fortress of Doom. Quit and reload. Your batteries will be back and the door you opened will be sealed. This is true of any pickup (cheat codes), door unlocked, or upgrade point spent in the Fortress. Because there is no autosave in the Fortress you can only save progress by going to a mission and then things save properly. But if you quit to menu it's like you never did those things.

There are enough Sentinel Tokens in the missions that you technically don't need to ever get the ones in the Fortress of Doom to max out every suit upgrade category. However, picking up those tokens in the Fortress will mean that you can get some useful upgrades sooner.

The same goes for weapon mods. If I'm not mistaken, you can unlock every mod solely with bots located in missions. The ones in the Fortress are mostly useful for low-priority mods if you want to get the milestone for mastering all weapons, or if you want to get a must-have mod like Arbalest on the Ballista right away.
