An automated cannon turret firing anti-tank ammunition over long ranges. Sacrifices agility for range and power.

— Ship Management Terminal

The A/AC-8 Autocannon Sentry is a powerful stratagem firing high damage shells. It fires in three round bursts against enemies and has the slowest turning speed of all the sentries. Unlike the AC-8 Autocannon support weapon, the rounds that the sentry fires do not bounce, have higher armor penetration, and will always explode on impact.

Gameplay Tips

• Due to its slow turn speed, this sentry is vulnerable to being flanked and/or overwhelmed by enemies. If possible, place it on top of rocks and cliffs out of reach of enemies.
• The Autocannon Sentry is able to effectively deal with Chargers provided they do not run into the turret, destroying it.
• Due to its explosion on impact and powerful armor penetration—much stronger than the smaller man-portable AC-8 Autocannon and relentless fire rate, the Autocannon Sentry is a very potent and versatile choice useful in any situation, capable of devastating distant crowds as easily as it piles damage on larger targets. Be wary of its slow turning speed however, as this leaves it vulnerable to enemy attack before it can dispatch them, especially immediately after deployment. Moreover, while its range is long, Automaton enemies can easily outrange it given sufficient line of sight.
