Strategies[]
- A Heavy Sentry, if upgraded with Motion Sensor, can be used to solely take out Wraiths in the Forest, Arctic, and Lakeside maps
- Destroyers and Berserkers take 50% less damage against deployables such as the Heavy Sentry.
- Boss takes 66% less damage from deployables
- Lurkers takes 75% less damage from deployables.
- Overclock increases the DPS but will compromise the lifespan of the sentry, so focus of upgrading AP Rounds first.
- The Tower Defense perk is valuable for increasing the lifespan of the sentry.
- Combat Sentry is generally a more favorable upgrade in most circumstances but Wither Rounds will become more viable if zombie HP becomes too high.
- Refilling a Heavy Sentry takes 5 seconds, and you can not refill the sentry with weapons with unlimited ammo or infinite ammo efficiency.
- If you have a prestiged Lightning Charge perk, the charge time is reduced to 2 nights, rather than the 3 nights when not prestiged, which provides permanent uptime early game.
- Just like the Sentry Gun and Combat Drone, the Heavy Sentry will not target zombies until 3 seconds after they spawn.
- In almost every case, Combat Sentry is superior to Lucky Shot.
Trivia[]
- The gun mounted on it is a smaller DMR.
- The glowing green display shows the remaining ammo and if the sentry can detect Wraiths.
- The display will turn red with the word "EMPTY" printed on it once it runs out of ammo. After a certain amount of time the depleted heavy sentry will disappear.
