Gameplay Tips

• The Rocket Sentry is able to destroy the armor off Chargers, enabling their insides to be damaged.
• The Rocket Sentry is able to shoot down Dropships.
• The Rocket Sentry has backblast which will ragdoll Helldivers in a small cone behind it. Be mindful of this when placing or fighting around it.

Known Issues

• The Shock Absorption Gel ship module only increases the ammo of the first rocket pod by 50%, leading to an overall ammo increase of only 25%.
• The Rocket Sentry's rocket pod model does not change to reflect the increased capacity from Shock Absorption Gel, which otherwise would accurately display how many rockets are loaded.

Description

1.000.402
2024-06-18

Fixes

• Sentries now have a higher destruction value so most explosions do not instantly destroy them regardless of the damage amount.

• Increased target distance from 75 meters to 100 meters.
• Decreased Rockets per salvo 2 to 1.
