__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Sentry''', internally referred to as '''Sentry1''', is the first sentry that is spawned by the [[Engineer]]. It spawns when the [[Engineer]] is at Level 0-2. It does not spawn on the path and instead on a ground spot in the [[Engineer]]'s sentry placement range. It takes about 1.25 seconds to build the '''Sentry'''.

There is a limit of one unit per [[Engineer]] when it is at Level 0-2, limiting the amount of '''Sentries''' it can spawn.

==Appearance==
The '''Sentry''' is a quadpod device constructed out of metal, colored black and white. It is a sentry that uses a mounted rifle to attack at enemies. It also has a red laser mounted on top.

==Strategy==
*The '''Sentry''' can do well against enemies that appear early on, such as the [[Slow]] or [[Heavy]].
*The '''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 very low DPS at the levels the '''Sentry''' is spawned, other towers like the [[Minigunner]] are recommended.
*The '''Sentry''' is not affected by any buff or debuff.
*The '''Sentry''' will struggle against any enemy with abilities that damage units, because of its low health.
**For example, if the [[Fallen King]] uses its ''Sword Swing'' attack, and a '''Sentry''' is caught in the attack, it is instantly destroyed.

==Trivia==
*The '''Sentry''' is based on the [[w:c:Bloons:Sentry|Sentries]] created by the [[w:c:Bloons:Engineer Monkey (BTD6)|Engineer Monkey]] from the ''Bloons Tower Defense'' series.
*The '''Sentry''' is also based on the [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Sentry_Gun Sentry Gun] built by [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Engineer Engineer] from ''Team Fortress 2''
