Sentinel: so close to being good
Now I want to be clear I don’t feel like we needed another sniper rifle before a new SMG or LMG but we got one so what’s done is done. The Sentinel sniper rifle is such a gratifying weapon to use, b...

@rickyressel uhhhhhh no
Again with these buff ideas that I am beginning to think you actually want implemented into the game.
The sentinal is good where it is.
Charging it with a battery makes it more dangerous as it can wipe a whole shield in an instant and that can turn a battle between you and another squad into your favor.
More so if you manage to poke each player once so the only thing left is to take their base health.
Doing what you suggested would only make it OP and we'd have another Charge Rifle incident on our hands where the noobs can just pick it up, charge it and wipe the floors with us all.

I dont charge it until i see purple or gold then ill charge it asap, thats a huge advantage to hit a shot and drop their shields!
All the sentinel needs is a fix to the weird delay it puts on your ability to use heals when you've got the thing out.
- @iBlockHead I’m sorry my ideas seem to upset you so much. This is a forum, these are just thoughts and ideas I’ve kicked around in my head. I thought this was a place to come discuss things Apex related. Feedback like yours helps me understand if there’s any merit to the ideas I have or if it wouldn’t be something feasible to do. It’s all for fun man. I like coming up with possible cool ideas. Some are good some aren’t. All of these are just my opinions. No need to get hostile
- @rickyressel He... he didn't seem hostile friend.
But don't forget, a charged shot can deal up to 125 to the body if you hit a Red Evo shield, which is kraber damage! I love this gawd damn gun (especially at close quarters)! I think the Sentinel is in a good spot.
75 Damage is solid damage to do in one shot at a longer range.
It's basically a stronger longbow with a reduced fire rate and a unique active.
I get why some might want to see it buffed, but when I compare the weapons, the Sentinel is really strong.
But it feels a bit clunky for me when I use it, idk why that's why I pref the triple take and longbow over the Sentinal.- @rickyressel I wasn't trying to be hostile, I'm here like everyone else to just try and help others and I like your ideas but they go a bit far into the OP side and thus I come to make it less OP or try to let you know.
As said before, not hostile at all.
We have about 4-5 snipers in the game, 1 shouldn't be more better than the others. They all have their areas which they are good at and reward players who play on that field.
Sentinal has it's instant shield wipe abilities to stop a team from rushing or so you can down an enemy instantly if you catch them by surprise.
- @iBlockHead Also, just to touch on what you said.Again, a battery has way more value now that stacks are 2 and inventory management is a bigger factor. As far as being able to crack the shields of every squad member with dis crypto’s shots. The Sentinel doesn’t support the fire rate and you’d have to be the patron saint of precision to hit all three people on a team with disruptor shots. Also once you crack a shield you have to waste your disruptor shots to shoot flesh after they don’t have a shield at 70 damage. As far as it being a noob machine like the charge rifle. That could never happen. It takes way too much precision, the ballistics aren’t larger size like the G7, LB, and Kraber so even if it was buffed into a god weapon it would only be effective in the hands of a true marksman.
- @iBlockHead Sentinel is a long range weapon. Wiping a whole shield means nothing in a long range fight. Before the second shot was fired, the enemies have more than enough time to find a cover thanks to the extremely low fire rate of Sentinel.
