Instructions: Add additional tips
  • The Rocket Sentry has the minimum engagement range of 5-meters. Any non-Helldiver within 4-meter radius renders the rocket sentry inoperable until cleared of enemy units.
  • The Rocket Sentry can strip the armor off Chargers, enabling their insides to be damaged.
  • The Rocket Sentry is able to shoot down Dropships and Gunships. it will regularly miss the latter however.
  • The Rocket Sentry has backblast when it fires, which will ragdoll and slightly damage Helldivers in a small cone behind it. Be mindful of this when placing or fighting around it. The backblast extends up to 4m behind it's facing direction.
  • The Rocket Sentry can be thought of as a more sustained fire lower DPS alternative to the Autocannon Sentry, having more total ammo, dealing more damage per rocket but falling short of the triple fire salvo and AOE of the Autocannon sentry.
    • To further accentuate this, the rocket sentry has preference targeting compared to the Autocannon sentry, targeting heavy enemies before medium and small enemies. Unlike other sentries the rocket sentry is capable of changing targets even after locking onto a previous one.


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.

1.001.100
2024-09-17

Changes

  • Every Stratagem capable of damaging heavily armored enemies has had their damage increased to account for the increased health of heavier enemies.

    • Projectile durable damage increased from 300 to 525.

1.000.402
2024-06-18

Fixes
