Opinions on Sentinel sniper rifle
So what are your opinions on Sentinel sniper rifle? Personaly i think something is lacking. The best thing it has ATM is bullet travel time, damage is good but not great. Charging it with shield batt...
Forum Discussion
@DarthValtrex Yea body damage wont get buffed, it would make charging with shield battery useless. I think it may be interesting if they reduced pure body damage to lets say 30 and while charged it could always break armor + deal base damge. Right now it doesnt seem that good compared to longbow (increased headshot damage) or even charge rifle. Right now we get what? Max 35 damage increase on body shot at the cost of a shield battery for a few shots. If the enemy doesnt even have a purple/gold shield it gets even worse.
@tommor1988 There has already been some discussion about changing it from shield battery, to cells. I think that would be a solid improvement.
I’m with you, I prefer the longbow and G7. They are just better overall guns IMO.
The gun is a starting point. They’ll gather feedback and data then buff/nerf accordingly. I was landing headshots for 120 damage with the Sentinel. If they have blue armor one more tap to the body and they are knocked... If me and a squad mate are shooting at the same target they are done almost instantly.
But overall I feel like mid and longe range guns in this game just won’t be popular unless they have 1 shot knock capabilities like the kraber. The majority of the fights are in short/mid range.

It's a good sniper. Shame it's bugged.
