Description

The Minigun Sentry, internally referred to as Sentry3, is the third sentry that is spawned by the Engineer, that spawns when the Engineer is at Level 4. Instead of spawning on the path, it spawns on the ground in the Engineer's sentry placement range. It takes about 1.5 seconds to build the Minigun Sentry. Before the Minigun Sentry starts firing, it needs to rev-up its miniguns. The rev-up time is 1.5 seconds. When the Engineer that created it is at Level 5, the Minigun Sentry has a shield. This shield prevents the Minigun 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 three units per Engineer when it is at Level 4, limiting the amount of Minigun Sentries it can spawn.

Appearance

The Minigun 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 mounted on top. It also has a red shield, which dissapears when the Engineer that spawned the Minigun Sentry is stunned.

Strategy

The Minigun Sentry can do well against high health enemies that appear later on, such as the Giant Boss or Mystery Summoner. The Minigun Sentry has Hidden detection, making it very useful against high health hidden enemies like the Shadow Boss and Soul Boss. The Minigun Sentry is not affected by any buff or debuff. Due to the Minigun 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 Minigun 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 Minigun Sentry is caught in the attack, it is instantly destroyed. The Medic can be very useful, as its shield can protect the Engineer from stuns, stopping the Minigun Sentry's shield from being destroyed.
