The Sentinel, How to buff it. Increase range to 500 meters plus.

There is no reason to use the Sentinel. It is outclassed by the longbow in every way. Either give is major buff or remove it from the game. Its useless. Many times have tried using it as a long r...

@hhnbbfggty66 I'm on the fence with this one.

When it first arrived I wasn't impressed, I felt the Longbow was a preferred choice for me. Faster fire rate, strong enough, etc.

But now, weirdly, I feel myself leaning the other way and I'm not sure why. I think a lot of it depends on the sort of engagements I enter into, and how my teammates are. If we're rushing - Longbow. Cautious - Sentinel. I love the sound and look of it, it feels like a "proper" sniper.

That being said, due to its low rate of fire and the way the shield charges expire over time, I wouldn't oppose a buff of some sort. I agree that as a bolt action, it should have more advantages in other areas.

Best sniper (disregarding the Kraber ofc) is the Triple Take anyway, beast of a weapon.

      I mean, I agreed with you that a buff wouldn't go amiss, but sure, I guess I'll go * myself then.

      @littlxrI have no compassion for the pitiful Sentinel.

      I was joking earlier, but yeah it needs a buff. Its a kinda cool gun but has no direction yet. I hope respawn make it a 500 meter sniper. It would be nice to have an extra-long range sniper. Apex needs one. Something that shoot straight, flat, and fast. Something that can easily get knocks at over 500m with some skill, and maybe even shoot through down shields to secure those long range kills. Maybe a perk of disruptor rounds, the ability to shoot through downshield. Maybe the Sentinel should be a minature rail gun. It has potential, with the right buffs it would be nice.
