Description

The Rifle Sentry, internally referred to as Sentry2, is the second sentry that is spawned by the Engineer. It spawns when the Engineer is at Level 2-3. It does not spawn on the path and instead on a ground spot in the Engineer's sentry placement range. It takes about 1.5 seconds second to build the Rifle Sentry.

There is a limit of two units per Engineer at Level 3 and three units at Level 4, limiting the amount of Rifle Sentries it can spawn. In PVP mode, only two can be spawned at at Level 2-3.

Appearance

The Rifle Sentry is a quadpod device constructed out of metal, colored black and white. It is a sentry that uses a mounted rifle to attack enemies. It also has a red laser mounted on top. When the Rifle Sentry is spawned by a Engineer at Level 4, the Rifle Sentry has a red shield, which disappears if the Engineer is stunned.

Strategy

• The Rifle Sentry can do well against enemies that appear early on, such as the Abnormal Boss or Mystery.
• The Rifle Sentry does not have Hidden detection, meaning you have to either rely on the Engineer for hidden detection or use other towers.
  • Since the Engineer by itself has low DPS at the levels the Rifle Sentry is spawned, other towers like the Minigunner are recommended.
• The Rifle Sentry is not affected by any buff or debuff.

Trivia

• The Rifle Sentry's shield is based on Team Fortress 2's Wrangler shield.
