I have been playing the Boris class since day 1 and reached the mastery level and have to to say glad I did as now the sentry gun has been rendered useless.Before I would get 3 to 4 SG kills during a match and now lucky to get 1. Given the SG is the class's go to weapon and taking 60k of damage given to reach mastery it seriously needs to be buffed.I'm not sure if you nerf'ed it or players have found the ability to easily destroy them with out taking any damage but I'm sure something needs fixing.I watch them after getting fragged to see what occurs and from dancing up close to firing upon at distance they do so with reckless abandon. Even walking right up to it from behind and shooting it with the revolver..slowly I might add... the SG just gets graped!FIX IT!!!

@k1u73 Here are some simple things that can I give you as tips for sentry gun:Don't put it down in front so that everyone can see it, except you will try to distract the enemy (most of them will shoot the turret, so you have an advantage)Check the environment, try to think vertical most players don't look up or downstaying close to the sentry gun will boost it but think bevor placing it down, maybe use an Irish shield as cover. It is wasted time if you stay close to the sentry gun in open field 😉Pick up a sentry gun if the live is low and place it again after some seconds. The sentry gun will be placed with full life (depending how long you wait!).Picking up a sentry gun saves you a cooldown so, do it as often as you can. Only leave a turret to save your live to be a mobile entry point for you squad. (distraction)learn the maps, I would say that nearly every flag has a good spot for the sentry.Herer an example for Manifest if you up one of the cranes near the ships, don't put the sentry to point to the flag. Put it so that it is facing the grappling line (opposite site of the line). So, you will get many spots and kills also you see when someone is getting up the line. But don’t get be blind to the environment then, Helicopters and Sniper from the Top Antenna or player on the other cranes will hunt you.That are the tips which I can give you.So, have fun and good luck^^See you on the Battlefield

@k1u73 if you already know all, why are you complaining?But it seems for me that you don't want to learn and adapt. As some have written here the Sentry Gun is powerful, and yes in my opinion it is.At the moment I play with Rao and man do I miss my sentry gun.Also, I play the GTV this is a damn sentry killer 😉See you on the Battlefield

@k1u73 I just tried Boris today after not having used him since the beta, and I honestly found the turret overpowered.I got around 10 kills per match from the turret and on top of that it was 3d spotting every enemy near me for easy kills.

@CountSero Some people don't want to admit they are wrong sometimes.

@k1u73 mate I started with Rao 2-3 days ago 😉 so till then I played Boris but hey what do I knowIt seems that other players are able to learn and adapt and kill your sentry😉Maybe learn and adapt too? Think out of the box put the sentry not in direct sight or in obvious places.Also, the sentry gun is not a killing machine, it spots and breaks 100% every Armor with his burst. And when there is no amor it makes enough damage that most of the enemies are one or two shot.This I call powerful. Also, I mentioned that there is a bug which leads to an explosion of the sentry gun without influence of an enemy.But hey I see that this discussion will lead to nothing for me, so have fun and good luck with Boris.See you on the Battlefield

There is no way that can happen. I play 6 hours at least each day vs many players. I set the sg in various positions all over each map. I would like to see your stats for sure.
Given it’s automated and watching 1… 2…. even 3 players dancing around it your reply is sus
Its absolutely laughable at how weak the sg is….

This is the tier 1 im trying to do.I get a few kills and/or assists a match but defo could do with a bit of a boost or higher round count each burst. They defo need to sort out the spotting of enemies through objects too. Im just glad the tier is damage based and not X amount of kills.

@k1u73Don't know what to tell you. Played 4 matches as boris and got 9, 11, 11 and 8 kills with the turret.

Just place it it vegetation to make it harder to see and stay near it to both boost its effect when you're in the green circle and fire at the same enemies the turret is shooting at.

I had multiple situations where the turret got 2-3 kills while Boris was bleeding out on the ground after I got shot down.

@k1u73 have you read text of his passive ability?

It is more effective when you close to the sentrey gun.

imho getting to T1 was ok^^

It’s not about getting to T1 it’s about being effective in defending the objective. The sg can damage what ever at any rate and if need be increase the 60k to say 90 k or even 120k but make the sg and the class effective for its purpose. Defending the objective and if nmy can walk up to it shake thine buttocks while taking it out something is not right.

For now it’s only a distraction and and I’ll get a few kills from my lmg and that’s about it.

As long as you stay near it and work with the turret it works great.

Putting it down and expecting it to do the work for you isn't really effective (and it really shouldn't be imo as that would make it damn near impossible to take a lot of objectives considering how many turrets people throw down all over the place)
