Arena sentinel (/snipes?) glitch or broken mechanic?

Hi. I noticed that when you take the 400 credits basic Sentinel, you have a powerful optic like 10x or so with rangefinder.
If you upgrade to white, you indeed have 1 more bullet and barrel stabilizer, but just a basic lens then. Even happens when getting other levels up.
So basicallly, you trade off a really powerful optic that can get you shots 100% accurate against more bullets that would fly away.
Not sure it was intended, but depending on the map it is especially powerful, even if this is a Sentinel.
While Gaming I did not look specially into the Longbow or Charge rifle, but I believe I took the Charge Rifle once and it happened too.
(I might share a video if needed, I took it because I was surprised).

Apart of this, I feel like the shop is pretty well balanced. I just regret that we can't buy better ko shields or get them stronger as armor as upgrading with successive rounds.

Also might be interesting to have ring shields.

Thanks

  • @IMightKickAss You can middle click or something to choose different optics. (I hate 2x on wingman, so I'll often change them back to a 1x.) With the sentinel you get a 6x 1st tier, I think, and then when you upgrade it it goes to like a 2x. You CAN change it back, though I may be wrong about the middle click... I just woke up so I can't remember rn
