__TOC__
==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 (Attribute)|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'' [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Wrangler Wrangler shield].
