We all know Dice will nerf the Sentry Gun, it's just too powerful and essentially gives you an extra teammate with some of Paiks wall hack ability.So my prediction is that they will change range and enemy spot duration.

@HavingABlast99 Boris sentry does not need much of a nerf .. its just inconsistant the the thing is it almost only kill you if he stand next to it wich boost it ..He have to be close to it in order for the turret to be any efficient beside that the turret is just a spotting tool

@HavingABlast99 Make spotting mini map only, no highlighting

imagine he can place a heavy MG he can then use( since DICE is stealing ideas from better games just make it like Tachanka from R6S) would give him great synergy with Irish....but teamplay is no longer wanted by DICE so go fish i guess

@HavingABlast99 i think it's fine, compared to other specialists boris will have nothing if they nerf it.

@ElliotLH Nah, the turret is already very squishy. Maybe it would help to make the ammo pouch a weak spot that could be shot of, and then needs repair.But at the current state of the game, this sounds overly complicated, so a simple less hp sounds like the way to go.

@Psubond than you run into the trap. Als Shooting out of cover at a Sentry is not a good idea, especially when you already got hit by the burst.

Yes, the Sentry is powerful but far away from being overpowered.
You can kill it with two shots from the GTV and around 8-10 Shots from an Assault rifle.

The Ranger (Dog) is far more stable with a gun that has a horrible bullet spread but you need many bullets to kill him when you don't got a Nade, so it is more dangerous in the open then the sentry.

But putting on a weak spot could be a good solution here.

Maybe try to play Boris a while than can you see that you need some map awareness to put the sentry into a good spot. If you Put a Sentry on the wrong spot Is not useful or it gets killed easily.

See you on the Battlefield

@CountSero why not make it a deployable heavy machine-gun he can then use. heck if you want to go the extra mile it gives him amazing synergy with irish to make it an actual strong point. i detest any auto-spotting gadget that literally deteriorates the gameplay into use and forget, or camp and infest.
on top the highlighted spot does track trough any obstacle for about 7 seconds and there is nothing you can do to counter it, since as you said, it only needs to see a few pixles to work....
it is a way to increase your DPS as a player in an unfair and abusable way. i have seen boris players rather pluck down their turret in gunfights then to shoot back at me knwoing the turret will deal significant or leathal DMG and then cover them for a revive oportunity

@Psubondand the turret is not always reliable where it really counts.
The meta still is all about Mackay and Angel with a bit of Sundance when there is a need to traverse fast.
Nothing can beat being able to ADS strafe faster while being able to also take paths few others can without an aircraft.

this isn't about the meta, this is about boris and the most broken thing about him is his wall hack

@PsubondI think this issue stems from the walls not being as solid as they are supposed to be often.
I have been hit by some grenades and fire through walls for example. So the turret ends up somehow seeing someone behind the wall.

@UP_Hawxxeye which is one of the reasons the highlighting should be removed and made to spot on mini map only

@PsubondYes, I can understand that.
I just feel bad when it is asked for the effect to be changed instead of focusing on the cause ☹️
It feels more like if the game loses features for the sake of fixing problems ☹️
