The Sentinel is a bolt-action sniper rifle introduced in Season 4 that utilizes Sniper Ammo.

It has a unique "Amped" mechanic: two Shield Cells, or one when equipped with a Level 4 Body Shield, charge up the Sentinel increasing its damage by 25% for 120 seconds (or 8 shots), and each shot will shorten the charge by 15 seconds. Charging the Sentinel takes 5 seconds. It can also be enhanced with the Deadeye's Tempo Hop-Up, which increases the weapon's rate of fire when timing the shots correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• High damage per shot.
• High projectile speed.
• Bullets penetrate enemies, allowing the player to hit multiple targets with one shot.
• Amped function increases the damage by 25%.
• Can open doors by shooting the handle.

Cons

• Very low fire rate and DPS due to bolt-action mechanism. This can be somewhat remedied with the Deadeye's Tempo.
• Takes a long time to switch to another weapon without a Sniper Stock.

Bugs

• In Arenas, the Sentinel sometimes cannot be amped regardless of the amount of Shield Cells in the inventory.
• Normally, between firing a shot and rechambering another, there is a small delay before the next bullet is rechambered. Aiming down the sights and simultaneously trying to amp the Sentinel after a shot is fired skips that delay.

Lore

The Sentinel ESR is a dual-stage, electromagnetic actuated sniper rifle manufactured by Paradinha Arsenal. Rounds are chambered through the rear bolt action receiver and fired with a traditional closed bolt pin. The round is then accelerated with a muzzle velocity of 5km/s through the EM Propulsion system. This delivers a projectile with highly destructive kinetic energy to defeat the immediate effects of bullet drop over distances of 2km. This gives the weapon more accessibility and a faster cycle time than the Kraber .50-Cal Sniper in exchange for a little less lethality.

Skins

There are a total of 51 weapon skins for the Sentinel; 8 Legendary, 6 Epic, 21 Rare and 16 Common.

Trivia

• The Sentinel is visible on the DUMMIEs back in Crypto's finisher "Drone Scan", when previewed in the Legends tab. This was a whole season before the gun was first unveiled. As said by community coordinator Jason Garza on Reddit, he messed up while capturing the finisher, and it shipped with the weapon showing. He also said, that he'd let the fans figure out what the weapon was.
