__TOC__
==Description==
The '''War Machine Sentry''', internally referred to as '''Sentry4''', is the fourth and last sentry that is spawned by the [[Engineer]]. It spawns when the [[Engineer]] is at Level 6. It does not spawn on the path and instead on a ground spot in the [[Engineer]]'s sentry placement range. It takes about 1.75 second to build the '''War Machine Sentry'''.

Before the '''War Machine Sentry''' starts firing, it needs to rev-up its miniguns. The rev-up time is 1.5 seconds. It has a rocket launcher, which fires two rockets in a quick burst. The '''War Machine Sentry''' also has a shield. This shield prevents the '''War Machine Sentry''' from being damaged by any enemy's ability. This shield is only active when the [[Engineer]] itself is not stunned.

There is a limit of four units per [[Engineer]] when it is at Level 6, limiting the amount of '''War Machine Sentries''' it can spawn. In [[PVP]] mode, this is reduced to three units per [[Engineer]].

==Appearance==
The '''War Machine Sentry''' is a quadpod device constructed out of metal, colored black and white. It is a sentry that uses a mounted minigun to attack enemies, which spins when attacking enemies. It has a red laser and two rocket launchers which fire missiles mounted on top. It also has a red shield, which disappears when the [[Engineer]] that spawned the '''War Machine Sentry''' is stunned.

There is also a 5% chance that the '''War Machine Sentry''' will spawn with a cosmetic teddy bear on it.

==Strategy==
*The '''War Machine Sentry''' can do well against high health enemies that appear later on, such as the [[Fallen Titan]] or [[Summoner Boss]].
*The '''War Machine Sentry''' has [[Hidden (Attribute)|Hidden]] detection, making it very useful against high health hidden enemies like the [[Shadow Boss]] and [[Soul Boss]].
*The '''War Machine Sentry''' is not affected by any buff or debuff.
*Due to the '''War Machine Sentry's''' shield, it is very effective against enemies that have abilities that damage units, as their shield makes them invulnerable to damage.
**Do note that if the [[Engineer]] is stunned, the '''War Machine Sentry''' will lose its shield, making it vulnerable due to its very low health.
***For example, if the [[Molten Warlord]] uses its ''Hammer Slam'' attack, and a '''War Machine Sentry''' is caught in the attack, it will be destroyed instantly.
***The [[Medic]] can be very useful, as its shield can protect the [[Engineer]] from stuns, stopping the '''War Machine Sentry's''' shield from being destroyed.
*The '''War Machine Sentry''' can damage [[Lead (Attribute)|Lead]] enemies, as both its missiles deal explosion damage.

==Trivia==
*The '''War Machine Sentry's''' name might be a reference to the exclusive tower, the [[War Machine]], which is given to anyone who is an moderator or a higher rank based on the game's group.
**Additionally, the former and the latter both have miniguns and rocket launchers.
*There is a 5% chance that the '''War Machine Sentry''' will spawn with a cosmetic teddy bear on it. The shooting sound will also change.
**The teddy bear is the {{RLinkC|12848902|Teddy Bloxpin}} gear from the Roblox catalog.
**This is a reference to the now removed [[Sentry]] tower. Before the [[Release v1.0|MEGA Update]], there was a 30% chance that the [[Sentry]] would have a teddy bear on it when upgraded to Level 5.
***This, at one point, allowed the [[Sentry]] to detect hidden enemies. This is, however, not the case for the '''War Machine Sentry'''.
*The '''War Machine Sentry's''' shield is based on ''Team Fortress 2's'' [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Wrangler Wrangler shield].
*The '''War Machine Sentry''' was sent out on the path by the devs during the admin abuse part of the [[Halloween 2025 Live Events]].
**This allowed for a rare situation to happen where the '''War Machine Sentry''' can, actually, slide across the path at a speed of 1.5 like a regular unit.
