Detailed Tactical Info
Large and exceptionally observant, Sentinels are rare but wherever they watch can be a dangerous place to walk across. When spotting a raider they prepare and fire a powerful bullet. While telegraphed, without cover Sentinels can be devastating.
Combat Advisory
When dealing with a Sentinel, make sure to watch out for the initial orange markers around you once it spots you as a target. It will then charge up for a lengthy amount of time before firing a devastating shot. Cover is obviously the best way of dealing with them, and ensures your safety if it is reliable and will be a safe spot for a good amount of time. Be watchful though, as they may watch over areas occupied by other ARC, meaning raiders may have to waste stamina on avoiding them before going back to the fight at hand if caught within their territory while taking down other ARC. They are extremely armored and take many shots to take down, but if required they can be taken down in only a few blows by melee, so getting close enough to strike it yourself is a solid idea if you don't have any other option.
